Hi. I have found the cause of the problem. The problem is with a codec installer changing the clsid's in the registry. The one that it changes is {c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590} under the hkey_classes_root. It adds a few extra extensions for video files for thumbnail view. However I am looking to find a fix to get rid of the extra extensions that it adds. In the meantime if you get shellexview and disable the key mentioned above it fixes the crash and you can now open the folder to play the movies. Just won't have the thumbnails. I'll keep all updated here as I find more info about this crash so keep checking back.
