I have a a 8.2 GB vidoe file that I want to rename. When I right
click on the file name, Windows Explore hangs and I have to go into
the Task Manager to Kill it. Is there are file size limit I am
exceeding? I am running XP Pro SP3.

==============================
Try waiting a few minutes after the right
click and see if the freeze goes away.
