Hello

I've looked for an answer to this problem, but I can't seem to find it.

The problem I'm having is when windows explorer is set to 'thumbnail' mode my system goes crazy when trying to thumbnail a video file. Whenever I see this icon:
... things go crazy. Explorer flashes a few times and then I'm lucky if it doesn't crash. Normally, I would just set the display to icon or tile, but it's especially problematic when using a file selector, say when I upload a torrent to a tracker or download a file from the net. There seems to be no way to set a default view for a file selector. If there is a video file in the same folder as the torrent then the 'thumbnail' mode causes Firefox to crash. This proplem has crashed windows explorer several times and even crashed my computer a few times as well.

What program is this icon related to? And how can I make explorer NOT thumbnail video files?
