Ok, I don’t know how many of you K people use EPS files for making PDF docs, but I sure do and I am starting to get really annoyed. Ever since I have installed the new Adboe CS Premium Suit I have had nothing but problems with them.
When viewing a folder with a few of these files inside, it can take FOREVER for the icon to appear beside it’s name. This is a problem because if you try deleting them you will get an error saying the file is in use. Once the icon has appeared 8 out of 10 times you can delete it. The other 2 times it still says it’s in use, when it’s clearly not, even after a restart.
Does anyone have any ideas here, or have you experienced the same thing?

thats one of those annoying XP things _spit_.
try looking for an option to NOT save a thumbnail with the EPS file.
or maybe try deleting Thumbs.db

i get a similiar problem with PSD files… Try right-clicking on them, and choosing properties, and then see if you can uncheck the ‘generate thumbnail’ option, if there is one…
