How to Crash Vista's Explorer
yttrx
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, 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.

Lies. I tried this with a directory with just shy of 50,000 files in it,
no problem here at all.
yttrx
Was it 2.5 gigs? Was it files AND directories? Was it 177,000?
Fucking windows moronic shithead.

There must be something wrong with your install.
I just tried this with 32,000 files and everything worked perfectly.
Possibly you have a corrupted install of Vista or bad memory?
Have you tried running memtest on the system?
Like I said, it works fine here.
Maybe someone from Microsoft can verify the bug and offer a solution?

You're a spineless pussy, hadrin. And you're fucking retarded because

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.

Follow your case?
How is that possible?
You are vague and not specific enough. For example:
"Generate a directory of over 10,000 files and directories"
Over?
"with about 177,000 files"
About?
FWIW I used MORE files than you did, and it worked perfectly.
If you want people to "follow your case", as you put it, then please
do try and be specific
and tell us EXACTLY how many files and directories.
Personally, I think you are FOS but that's just my opinion.

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.

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?

I just followed his scenario exactly as he wrote it and I have no IE
crashes.
The small files are undo files that Premier uses for my video editing,
if it matters.
I would think his Vista install is somehow corrupt which is not unusal
especially if he upgraded over XP.

And how exactly does the post you just referenced make me seem to be

Heh. No, AFAICT it's more of an issue of not being
intelligent about presentation when there's more files
than the display can handle.
Then again, I frankly don't know (I did mark this as a
guess) and have seen something like this in a Linux TRON
game if one plays sufficiently long then rotates the display
just right. :-) I think in the latter case the X display
takes a dive, but would have to retry it.

yttrx comes across here as brusque, slightly vulgar,
intelligent enough to hold his own, and a non-Linux user
(but not a Winvocate; he's from BSDLand(tm), which isn't
bad on supported hardware but I've not played with it much
so don't know its precise capabilities).
Contrast that to someone like wjbell or DFS; both seem to
be so high on Windows that he thinks it'll solve everyone's
problems (including the pending nuclear crisis with Iran),
though DFS tends not to mouth the official line quite so
much. :-)
(Disclaimer: IMHO.)
And then there's Erik. Frankly, I'm not sure what to make
of him. Flatfish is an audiophile who likes high-end audio
cards (which, for some staggeringly imponderable reason,
don't seem to have Linux drivers in most cases).
KM is probably lurking out there, watching all this and
laughing his [censored] off.
And the rest...all here on COLA's newsgroup isle.....

The punctuation was intentional.
And repetative statements such as....
"DID YOU FUCKING USE MY METHOD? NO YOU FUCKING DIDNT, ASSHOLE.

Well, in all fairness, you're only seeing a very tiny cross
section of my behavior and input. I happen to have various and sundry
interests, port wine collecting (I only have one bottle of taylor
fladgate vintage 1994, which is one of the best ports I've ever
had...sadly. I'll probably open it before the end of this year)
to inferno-based grid/cluster solutions (plan 9 derivative, itself
the only real competition of quality that unix ever had).
I also very much enjoy theocidical debate, mechanical logic-gates
and Bach's Fugues, my favorite of which is the somewhat undersung,
so to speak, Little Fugue in G Minor.
Computer wise, for functionality on a desktop I prefer FreeBSD or
NetBSD (where 3D accelleration doesn't matter). Linux is sort of
alright for a lot of applications, but if I'm going to run something
*like* unix, I'd rather just run unix.
Windows Vista is on one of my work laptops, XP on the other. My
personal laptop runs XP and FreeBSD, but much more often FreeBSD
these days.
I love the BSDs, I despise windows (but I do need it for a few
things), and linux I guess is sort of alright, I suppose. It
would be better if it weren't for all it's idiot users.
But I guess the same thing could be said about windows, eh?
So fuck you.
