Hello, i'm trying to remove a .mkv file from my harddriver and when i do it popups the usual confirm message about "are you sure you want to remove this file from your computer..." and when i press yes, it starts working and then.. pop! the cpu usage on all my cores goes up to 100% and everything gets laggy until i close explorer.exe and restart it.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

I'm sitting on a
os: windows 7 64x proffesional
hdd: Western Digital Caviar SE16 750GB SATA2
and a Intel Core™2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz Socket

the file i'm trying to removei s a .mkv file in flac ´400mb big.

Are you trying to delete the file through explorer.exe itself, or through flac?

Ok, have you run any virus scans recently, as explorer.exe is a process that is often targeted by various malware. Also, which virus protections are you using?

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
