Problem with EPS files in Windows Vista

[Guest]

I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium for 5 days now. I have noticed
that when I have a folder with an EPS (Adobe Illustrator) file in it then
when I open that folder Windows Explorer will often crash. Even if the folder
with the EPS file is on an external harddrive then the window will crash.
Sometimes I manage to open the folder, but when I try to delete the EPS file
it will say that it cannot delete it because it is being used by a program.
This happens with EPS files I just created, or that I created a day before
before rebooting the computer, and it happens when Illustrator is close.d

Has anyone experienced this before?
Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Arthur

I am also using Windows Vista Home Premium.

Every time I try to move or delete an illustrator file (.ai, or .eps) it
tells me that "The action can't be completed because the file is open in
another program." When in fact no other programs are open and the files are
in list mode, so there is no preview showing or anything. This is very
frustrating as I'm simply trying to organize some folders.

I'm glad I am not the only one with this problem. Does anyone know why this
is happening in Vista?

I have noticed that when viewing a folder with Illustrator EPS or AI files,
that the icons do not show a thumbnail of the image. Windows XP *did* do
this. I wonder if that has something to do with it. Does Vista not recognize
these file types?

Thanks,
