when i open folders containing more than for example 10
files especially video files, windows explorer freezes, at first it was a bit
of a pain but now it is a major annoyance. In task manager i 'end process' on
drwtsn32.exe and explorer closes, and it happens again

Any ideas what could be the problem? how to stop drwatson from crashing?

Thanks very much

Paul, do you mean .avi files?

Avi files have a bug in XP. XP thinks that it has to read through every avi
file every time that you open a folder that contains any. You also get the
locked file in use when trying to delete, rename, move, etc. avi files.

See this on the fix.

How to get rid of "Locked AVI" Bug in Windows XP
http://riccardo.raneri.it/blog/eng/...w-to-get-rid-of-locked-avi-bug-in-windows-xp/

The only down side to the above fix is that when you right click an avi file
and select Properties, the Summary page will be blank or grayed out. Which
I decided was a lesser evil than some of the other problems .avi files
cause.
