Selecting certain video files - explorer.exe fills up my free RAM
Hello everyone.
I have an annoying problem with my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate version.
I have a folder acting as a "video dump" with videos encoded in different ways.
The problem is that when I select (single click) on some particular files, explorer.exe will start filling up my available ram up to 98% which obviously slows down Windows a lot.
The interesting thing is that explorer.exe does not behave this way on every video file, only on some which makes me wonder if there's some sort of codec setting or something causing explorer.exe to act up like this (why does explorer.exe even bother going through the files anyway when marking them?).
I have turned of search indexer and I have also optimized the folder to "General items" and also tried optimizing it to "Documents".
Anyone else experienced this?
Each file is over 4 GB and if someone is interested, here's some video information of the files making explorer.exe go crazy:
