or try deleting using the file browser of a program - if you have nero right click the file in nero's browser and delete

if none of the above work use a batch file in the directory

eg "del *.dat" <---*make sure the "*" is the filename

tis 4 am here so brain shutting down lol i know xp has this prob and there is a registry fix.......somewhere but i think basically xp sorta reads the whole file checking out what is sorta thing thereby locking the file while it does so....

yet again:

1. Open up regedit
2. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT&#092;SystemFileAssociations&#092;.avi&#092;shellex&#092;PropertyHandler
3. Delete the "Default" value which should be "{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}&#092;InProcServer32"
