Windows Consistently Chokes on File Operations In Video

When trying to shorten the filename of a video clip, or
rename it - Windows Explorer consistently bombs.
This alone makes Explorer a dismal failure. I will be moving
to Linux Mandrake within 60 days.
To say the least I'm very disappointed in this behavior.
 
Good luck, hope you enjoy the 'nix experience. I use it quite regularly. If
you haven't yet, be prepared for a steep learning curve. Once you get the
gist of it, 'nix is fairly nimble.

By the way, problems with video files are nearly always related to their
remaining in the WMP playlist cache. Once removed from there, they generally
behave much better. It's not a Windows Explorer problem.
