Default External Drives and Windows Explorer

Cosmosis66 & Mickjapa108

I have three external hard drives and an external DVD writer and I do not have, or ever had, windows explorer crashing/closing down when I access them, including accessing the Shared and Incomplete folders.

Ever since I started using LW in 2004 I have always used an external drive to store and share my files, so you see I can't agree that a "Shared folder on external drive can also be problematic".

At a wild guess, I would say that Cosmosis66 has some sort of incompatibility problem but that would cause random crashes, and not just on one particular folder. And windows explorer's reaction is more like some sort of virus contamination, written to frustrate the use of LW.

I believe that Cosmosis66 will have to look further than just the narrow margins of windows explorer and LWs Incomplete folder, e.g. when this problem started had he just finished downloading something from the internet or P2P network, etc.
