Have a large AVI file that I cannot delete or rename to
delete. "Cannot delete file or folder, being used by
another person/program comes up." Computer slows down to
nothing. If I even go near the file without clicking on
it, the whole system slows down and I have to reboot. HELP?
 
Greetings --

To correct this misbehavior in Windows XP, remove the following registry
key.

Goto Start>>Run>>Type "regedit" goto

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850D
C73E}\InProcServer32] - Delete this key

This will prevent Explorer from loading shmedia.dll in response to file
property queries on these files.
