Actually, this seem to be quite the problem with newer OSes. I didn't really look for this specifically but since you raised my awareness of the problem I noticed, while searching for another problem, people talking about .avi files hanging explorer.exe in Windows 7 and newer.
How Microsoft can shoot themselves in the foot and badly do their job every single time baffle me.
The only fix I've seen on the subject was to disable previewing of files when using explorer. You know, that thing which give you a preview of files like photos or videos when you are browsing your files? Anyhow, it seems that there is no option in the contextual menus to fix this... But you can run any command prompt and type this to do it manually:

Try this:
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
To turn it back on, type this:
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

Hope this help someone.
