Windows Xp

[{I}{K}{E}]

When I want to change for example a filename of a .avi, I often get the message ' file is in use'. Even when I rebooted! I just reinstalled XP so it can't be spy-ware or something like that.

Is their something in the register I can change to avoid this stupid message?

I only get this message with 'folders' and '.avi's' at the moment

FreeFile will tell you what program/process is "using" the file in question and allow you to free it up...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}\InProcServer32

Niether of tha key are a problem,mate.

The first prevents windows from holding the file.The second stops the file from hogging your cpu
