make sure you don't have thumbnail view on, make sure nothing is running in system try, try reboot and then delete or safe mode

just do this

1. Open up regedit
2. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler
3. Delete the "Default" value which should be "{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}"
Close regedit and try to delete the file now

i have the same prob when i try to delete some files. wat i do is, if it's in the shared folder, i go into klite, and delete the file in there. always works... and saves frustration... try it if u want to delete something...

just do the tweak with the registry and never worry about it again
