Windows Explorer freezes with (picture and video) folders

[Mr Fizz]

Windows Explorer freezes up when I open up a folder with
other folders inside , the folders (inside ) have images on the folders.
The images are from Videos/Pictures.
Anyone know how to get around this , Is ther a way to get windows
explorer to open up the same way even after rebooting ?

My guess would be a corrupt copy of 'Thumbs.db' in those folders (hidden file) Delete them and restart Windows.

I am having a similiar problem. I open My Videos, but a corrupt thumbs.db
file is causes it to close to the desktop before I can delete it. I try to
do the same thing in Windows Explorer and have the same problem. Is there a
way to get around this?

I would boot to Safe Mode with Command Prompt, to run the delete commands

cd\
attrib /s -rsh thumbs.db
del /s thumbs.db
