Generate a directory of over 10,000 files and directories. In my case, I used winrar to untar/gunzip an old backup from one of my freebsd machines, totalling about 2.5 gigs with about 177,000 files and directories.
Then, take that folder that you just made, and drag it to the recycle bin.
Watch Vista choke on it somewhere around 4-8,000 files recycled. Go have some lunch and coffee and come back 30 minutes later, notcing that it's choking in exactly the same spot, and that the window has become unresponsive.
So right click on the window and close it, confirming the close in the subsequent dialog box. Watch explorer itself suddenly quit and never come back.
Call your engineer buddy over at Cogent, who knows more about networks and operating systems than any windows fuckhead on COLA and laugh at microsoft for about ten minutes, trading Vista horror stories.

Was it 2.5 gigs? Was it files AND directories? Was it 177,000?

t-rex always exaggerates. His tatts, his watch, his salary, his skillz. He reminds of scrappy-doo a bit.

You are more than welcome to come visit and see for yourself, as always, hadrin fuckhead.
But you won't because your lies would be exposed if you did. You can't handle that, so you just type and type and type...from the relative saftey of your comparative geography.
You're a spineless pussy, hadrin. And you're fucking retarded because you can't figure out GIMP. Seriously, thats got to be the funniest fucking thing ive read in months.

It took them 6 years to fix a notorious Windows 95 bug. The bug led to freezing of the O/S that could last a quarter of an hour. It happened when you deleted a large number of files, so one wonders if there's a connection. it'a classic example of Microsoft ignoring bug report and procrastinating the handling of urgent requests.

Which has exactly what to do with this person's claim? Has he reported this supposed bug to Microsoft? I don't see any similar complaints although it might me too early for that. It seems to work fine for others so that makes either him or his methods suspect.
I think he is either doing something wrong, has a dodgey install, bad hardware or is just another quack quack Linux user making false claims. But that's just my opinion of course. JW

You had posted " This works every time....Generate a directory of over 10,000 files and directories. In my case, I used winrar to untar/gunzip an old backup from one of my freebsd machines, totaling about 2.5 gigs with about 177,000 files and directories.."
Certainly the key characteristic from that context is "Generate a directory of over 10,000 files and directories". Your case is seemingly offered as a comment rather than as a criterion. Who else would have access to your "old backup" in any event? You need to re-state the test conditions so that it is reproducible. There may be other conditions that contribute to the defect, i.e. how much memory is on the system? Are any other applications running at the same time?

Well, you could handle it yourself no doubt since you are one.

Oh, the possibilities.
[1] Available RAM.
[2] Memtest. (You'd be surprised what states Nexuiz gets into with bad RAM. :-) )
[3] Video card drivers. (This might be classified as a latent bug; basically, if the file handler splots too many icons -- presumably squares with an image texture -- into the DirectX10 buffer or some such, it might overload the GPU's available RAM and confuse the system. This is of course only a guess.)
[4] A bug in the trash handling which precludes file pathnames such as A/B/duh and A/C/duh coexisting thereinto. In other words, the usual latent dumbness. ;-)
