selecting audio or video file in Explorer causes it to hang

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

Just within the last 2 days I have had a problem with Windows Explorer
develop. Whenever I try to select an audio or video file in Explorer it hangs
and I have to Ctrl Alt Delete to get out of it. This doesn't happen on image
files or any other type of file. I have "Enable Web Content in Folders"
selected under folder options, and when I disable this the problem goes away,
but I like using Web Content in Folders, and it worked fine until 2 days ago,
so I'd like to try and fix it.

I have done all Windows Updates, and McAfee VirusScan updates ... and
Anti Spyware program updates. Everything coms back clean. I have used Disk
Management on both (2 physical) hard drives, and it reports the disks are
healthy. I have restore the registry to the last known good copy and also
doen an Emergency Repair using an ERD. Still now luck ... the problem
remains.

I am using Windows 2000 Pro and have McAfee VirusScan9, Adaware, Spybot
S&D and Microsoft Anti SPyware Beta. My processor is an AMD 1210 MHz CPU on
an Asus A7V MB, with 768 Megs of RAM. I have 2 80 Gig HDDs. My vidoe card is
a GeForce 4 Ti 4600 - 128Meg. I am using a logitech optical cordless mouse
and keyboard.

Any ideas what might be causing this and how to fix the problem would be
much appreciated.

Thanks!
