After renaming the file or folder, mostly happen on the folder-tree mode (left side of Windows Explorer) i have disable DEP, very good – no more crash when Windows Explorer try generate folder of Images or Videos thumbnail.

I'm guessing these are not 32-bit apps, so you can't disable DEP just for those individual apps... It seems that when an application outlives the hardware it was designed to run on, then it will live forever. --Bob. I’m very sorry to hear that.

Many of these apps were developed in house years ago by developers, who, to put it nicely, coded like crap, without regard for standards or best practices. I understood the pressure was put on them to get the software into production, and fix it later. My bachelor's degree is in computer science, and I haven't written anything more complex than a Powershell script since I graduated college, yet I still shudder when I try to make sense of some of the code I've seen. To surmize, many of the applications are huge cluster@$%*s that absolutely will not work with DEP enabled. And that's sad. -Julie Bob-

Is this just a temporary measure to bypass a flaw in one particular piece of software? DEP is meant to prevent data in memory from running as executable code, as might happen with a buffer overflow exploit. Disabling DEP is similar to turning off your anti-virus just so you can download those .EXEs off the Intertubes... You might want to do that only if it's absolutely necessary, and for as short a time as possible. --Bob. Hi Julie: I’m curious why you’re disabling DEP completely.
