Heres a pic:My problem is that I can't delete this movie which I transferred from CD to watch given that my CD-ROM drive is slow, 40X. I need to delete this movie, its a 700mb movie and I don't have the space for it, I have a 4GB Hard Drive. I already had to uninstall Train Simulator just to clear up enough space to run Windows properly... Can anybody help me please? I've checked that DivX, Windows Media Player and all other media players were not running during my try to delete. Please help.Looks Like a Pony RUNS LIKE A STALLION

classic issue. requires editing the registry to get winblows to stop trying to gather info on the movie, Shameless rip from a unknown forum and a unknown user "This is for XP users having problems with incomplete or corrupted avi files e.g when accessing them in explorer causes much processor and hard drive usage and when trying to delete, rename etc. can't because file in use by other process. This happens because explorer loads shmedia.dll that tries to get properties of avi e.g width, height, length etc. and has problems doing this with incomplete avi. One solution is to use other than explorer to handle avi files e.g command prompt or some other file manager. Or you can prevent the shmedia.dll from loading when accessing avi files by clearing the value (Default) from the following registry tree HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler You can do this by opening windows registry editor by selecting run... from the start menu and typing regedit.exe in the field then press enter. In regedit activate the my computer in the tree view and search SystemFileAssociations. When the key is found there browse for the key .avi and there shellex and there PropertyHandler. There click (Default) so you can edit its value and clear it. Or you can make .reg file with notepad or other plain ASCII text editor named e.g XP_avibugfix.reg that contains the following lines Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
@="" After that run the .reg file by double clicking it to apply the changes into the Windows XP registry. And if you for some reason want to undo this later do other file named e.g. Undo_XP_avibugfix.reg containing lines Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
@="{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}" One thing you could try is Process Explorer from http://www.sysinternals.com/ with it you can search the undeletable file/folder name and see what process has it open. With it you can also close that processes handle to that file/folder and after that you should be able to delete it. "
