I had a RAID array corrupt an .avi file to the point
where it wouldn't play. After fixing the array, every
time I would go into windows explorer to delete it,
explorer would try to open it somehow and would
eventually crash. I have noticed this happen to a lesser
degree with similar .avi files that didn't appear to even
have problems. By that, I mean that more often than not,
explorer would not allow me to delete, rename or move
an .avi file if an explorer window had been opened and
the file highlighted, until that window had been closed.
I found that if I opened cmd and renamed the end of
the .avi file to .avj or something else, I would no
longer have any problems with my .avi files in windows
explorer. It is frustrating, to say the least, and I
would like to turn off this unwanted behavior. Moving,
renaming and otherwise managing .avi files is a major
pain with this 'feature'.
To make it short, I do not want explorer trying to get
duration and other information for me from my .avi files.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Sincerely,
Michael
