Hi!
I have a file, ordinary file (video clip), that I can't
remove. It says Cannot delete "file": it is being used by
another person or program. It seems that a setting is
stuck as there is noone using the file.
How can I override this. I am logged in as an admin.

Thanks
Jan
 
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.
