Förhindra utforskaren från att frysa med den stora vinandet sparar på utsikt
Denna artikel var skriftlig by Daniel Spiewak, en stor programvarubärare och vän av Hur-Till Geek.
Den Windows utsikten har inbyggt bruk för vinande sparar - du kan skapa, extraktet, eller även besegrar bläddranderätten in i dem som, om de var en mapp. Men, om du har mycket stort, sparar vinandet sammanträde på ditt hårda drev, dåligasaker kan hända, om inte du inaktiverar vinandeförlagehanteraren.
Hur vi figurerade det ut
Den rättvisa todayen var jag pröva till återställandet som något av mitt sparar från en föregående reserv. Jag grep den jättelika vinandet sparar av mitt knyter kontakt drev och sparat det på det skrivbords-. Därifrån bet a lite av WinZip magi grep mig den, arkiv för MB 25 som jag önskade egentligen ut ur helheten, den 11 GB vinandet sparar. Jag visste att I-styrkan önskar till återställandet sparar mer mer sistnämnd though, så jag lämnade spara på mitt skrivbords- (överföra även över gigabit, 11 GB är stillbilden 11 GB).
Vara värd skrivbords- mer sistnämnd då jag fick slutligen baksida till mitt, som afton, I som finnas till mitt fullkomligt, chockar att saker inte var funktionsduglig riktigt. Till exempel öppnade jag upp sparautforskaren, och försökt att utvidga en mapp i treen förse med rutor på den vänster sidan. I stället för utvidgning nicely visningen under-mapparna, rullar det den dess rättvisa startade snurret. Då jag kom tillbaka till det tio, noterar mer sistnämnd, det var stillbild puttra bort.
Jag dödade den processaa explorer.exen, startade utforskaren om igen och gick på med min workflow. Åtminstone, tills WinZip startat ha utfärdar. Jag slogg ”extraktet” knäppas på storleksanpassat ett rimligt arkiverar (MB 150), och appen fryste. Den rättvisa lika utforskaren, åt gjorde det min fulla CPU och absolut ingenting med det.
Känna igen var jag ut ur min liga, avfyrade jag upp en konversation med ”Geeken”, och vi startade att felsöka. An hour and a half later, after pouring through mountains of log files, downloading tools I didn’t even know existed, and wading through pages of output from SysInternals “procmon”, we finally found the problem.
It seems that Windows Vista file explorer (by default) attempts to recurse into any zip archives in a direct subdirectory, allowing users to view the contents of the zip file directly in the sidebar. Windows XP had the same “feature”, but it waited to enter the zip file until you actually expanded the node in the sidebar. In principle, Vista’s method is a good idea. XP always suffered from long delays whenever you expanded a zip file, particularly over a network connection. Grabbing a file list in the background seems like a good idea, until you take into account extremely large archives.
By trying to recurse into that 11 GB zip file sitting on my desktop, Vista pretty much started a processor-intensive task that it had no chance of completing in a reasonable timeframe. Thus, killing performance across the board with no tangible return.
Disabling Zip Handling
The obvious solution to this problem is to just turn off Windows’s built-in zip file handling, since I’m using WinZip anyway. The quickest way to do this is to use the excellent ShellExView application to disable the explorer shell extension. (you don’t have to install it, just in case you’re leery about that sort of thing)
Open up ShellEx in Administrator mode by right-clicking the file and choosing “Run as Administrator”. Select all of the “Compressed” items, right-click and select “Disable Selected Items”.
Now that the extension is taken care of, you can either logout, or you can be a bit smarter about things and just restart the “explorer.exe” process. To do this, open up Task Manager (right-click on the task bar and select “Task Manager”, or use that good ol’ three fingered Vulcan nerve pinch, Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and find the “explorer.exe” process. There probably will be more than one process in the list named “explorer.exe”, so be sure to sort by CPU and select the one farthest toward the top.
Once you’ve selected the explorer, click the “End Process” and confirm in the ensuing dialog. The taskbar will disappear, along with all of your file explorer windows.
Now select “New Task (Run…)” from the File menu. In the “Open:” text box, enter “explorer” and hit OK. After a moment, the taskbar should reappear and everything should be hunky-dory. After this, you shouldn’t have any more problems with large zip files locking up the system.

Thank you for this !!
My downloads folder has loads of rar and zip files around 100 mb in size and would take forever to load up the folder and would hang. I had no idea why this was happening and now after following your above instructions, it opens up in a more timely fashion! thanks again.
Thanks!
This tweak can be enhanced with a nice registry hack to completely prevent Vista Explorer to view zip/cab files in the Explorer’s left hand navigation pane tree. If you use ShellEx the zip files are now as they were folders you can’t access. See here:

Works with Vista Home Premium SP1. Very handy if your folders are flooded with zip files.
You can always open Task manager directly using CTRL-SHIFT-ESC rather than indirectly through C-A-D
I think of this as the Masonic three-fingered-salute (it can be done all using the left hand)
