RE: Windows crashes when displaying folders containing Jpegs.

I had a similar problem. In my case, there was a corrupt file that locked up Windows explorer.
If there are no important images, delete the folder. You may have to try to show the problem folder from its parent folder and then highlighting and deleting the problem folder.

If there are important images - then you may have to bite the bullet and delete the folder and learn the hard way about backing up important data - happened to me once and I backup faithfully.

The last option is do go into safe mode and delete the folder.

Hope this helps
