My Girlfriend just updated her windows and that little preview thing to the left inside a window when you have music files changed - now, whenever you click on an mp3 file the whole system slows right down and you can't type anything for about 3 seconds while the PLAY buttons becomes black, indicating you can preview the file. This is extremely annoying when trying to rename files or even scrolling and you happen to click once on a file.
Has anyone else experienced this of late.
BTW it isn't a shitty system.

Change to windows 'classic' view tbh. Get work done much quicker without all that fancy windowdressing (literally)

No problem! I actually didn't think my suggestion would be accepted - a lot of people love that crap that their explorer windows are decorated with.. especially if they're accustomed to using a pc with it enabled
I just can't stand the shit, so i thought i'd chance my arm.
hate that 'personalized menus' shite as well.. grrr. ;P

Agreed. Simple is better. At least you can see how your folders are organized in the computer.

It is my gf's pc and her settings but I'm sure she won't mind since it will stop the annoyance :)

also turn off all XP 'special effects' (windows fading instead of just disappearing when closing them) - saves CPU.
turning off all sounds (which are annoying anyway) also helps.
