Hello George,
Thanks for your response.
Do you mean the issue only occurs when you use audio-video editing tools
or
codecs?

| The problem will only occure some rare times, and I assosiate it with
| audio-video edditing tools or codecs. The last time only SoundForge and
| VirtualDubMod was running. MPEG2 codecs are the ATI build of Cyberlink.
and
| AVI codec (for both video and audio) is ffdshow. It's most likely that
| explorer and ffdshow don't like each other, so I'd like to disable
thumbnail
| preview and any other code that is trying to open AVI files in explorer,
| when I select or drag them. I guess that explorer will not dispose and
clean
| the memory of AX controls after using them and this causes my problems.
| Sooner or later, a thread may stuck infinite looping and eating memory.
