Default I discovered a bug in Word 2010

I discovered a bug in Microsoft Word 2010.

I Windows Explorer, if you have the file preview pane turned on, and you click on a Word file, it will attempt to display a preview of the contents of that file in the preview pane. This means it needs to start WINWORD.EXE. What that means is that if you clicked on the word file in order to, let's say, rename it, you won't be able to. Or if you clicked on it and then hit delete in order to delete it, you won't be able to. It'll tell you that the file is already open and you can't rename or delete it. Any time I want to do this, I have to open the task manager, stop WINWORD.EXE, and then rename or delete (or whatever).

Does anyone know how to fix this?
