If you ever have problems with windows 7 crashing in a constant loop once you put an avi or any movie file on the desktop, then you are the victim of thumbnail cache error. There are many ways to fix this but the quickest and easiest is to disable thumbnail preview all together. A side benefit of this operation is your windows explorer will be much faster loading up. You can individually enable thumbnail view for a folder if you want in the future, but keep it off system wide to avoid the aforementioned problem above.
Here’s how:
1. Open up an explorer window, click on the ‘organize’ button on any folder and choose ‘folder and search’ options.
2. Click on the ‘view’ tab and check the ‘always show icons, never thumbnails’ checkbox.
3. Click OK, and you’re done.
