    Hi frnds i have windows XP with SP2 and IE seven installed on my Celeron 2 Ghz system. My explorer starting crashing. When ever i access video files folder like i have a folder called Video songs when i open it Explorer crashes saying 'eplorer needs to close we are sorry for the inconvience' and when i clik on close button screen goes blank with no desktop icons all appear slowly. This happens every 5 min when i access this folder or wallpapers folder. I think billy has no taste for music or wallpapers, thats why he added this crashing feature to windows. Billy sucks and windows too.

    After searching internet for a while i found this solution, plz tell me whether it is correct or not

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Click Start>Run, type REGEDIT and click Ok. Then make your way to this InProcServer32 key:

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

    Right click the InProcServer32 key and choose Delete. And that's all there is to it. This will prevent Windows from loading shmedia.dll when you work with video files and thus you should no longer have problems deleting or moving any video files. Also if you have a video file you can't delete now, deleting this key will allow you to do so. If not, log out and log in again to delete the file.

    If deleting the registry key makes you uncomfortable, you can export and save the reg key first. Alternately, you can rename the key by preceding the name with something like zzzz or 123.

    Another method for deleting problem files (not just avi files) is by closing explorer and using the command line to delete the file. Here I'll give you a method that doesn't require you to enter any paths.

    Find cmd.exe (it's in your Windows\System32 folder) and COPY it to the folder that contains your problem file.
    Double click the copied cmd.exe and leave the dos window open.
    Then click Ctrl-Alt-Del and choose Task Manager>Processes tab. Select Explorer and click End Process.
    Once ended, enter your delete command in the open dos box:
    del mymovie.avi (where "mymovie" is the name of your avi file)
    Press Enter.
    Then press Ctrl Alt Del again to get to the Task Manager>Processes tab.
    Click File>New Task.
    Enter EXPLORER.EXE and click Ok to get Windows back to normal.
    The file should now be gone.
