Codec and “Windows 7” Explorer Crashing

I recently found out that due to corrupt or incompatible codec’s installed on my upgraded Windows 7 (from Vista), Windows Explorer will crash when it tries to produce “Thumbnails” for the icons it is trying to represent.

I had to turn enable “Always show icons, never thumbnails” to get Windows 7 to be stable.  Love the thumbnails feature, but love a stable OS more.  the OS is fun and solid for a beta…too bad something like faulty codec’s can break the explorer.
