Folder "flashing"

[Punky]

I think i might just be really evil to my laptop, but it shouldn't hate
me this much yet...
I have a 30Gb hard drive, with 12Gb left.
I have 2761 albumart, mp3 and wma files in 202 folders in a subfolder of
My Music folder at the size of 3.53GB (on disk).
When I open this folder it simply "flashes". I can scroll, but every
time it "flashes" is jumps back to the start. Does anyone know why?

Also, I have been adviced by a friend (and very computer litterate guy)
to delete the AlbumArt files, as they are just fancy files for Windows
Media Player. Could this have anything to do with it?

Have you scanned for malware?

Something could be changing a file in the folder.

Yeah, I think I figured it. All the d**m AlbumArt files are back! Know
how to stop that? It's really annoying since it adds 5% to the file sizes...

Dire Straits Brothers In Arms has art of 25kb in a folder of 296MB, that is 0.0065%. There is stuff on Options in Media Player.
