FIX
"Windows XP Explorer has a 'feature' to provide a preview in the Details box on the left of the file you have selected, if it's supported. Image files, HTML pages, video clips, MP3s, etc are all previewed (even with the folder view open).
If you have a large movie clip and it either is corrupt (ie. no index from a partial download) or it uses an unsupported codec, then Explorer tries to load the whole file. This can slow your computer a lot and prevent seleting/renaming/moving/etc the file until it's finished.
Simply do the following steps:
========================
1) Open a command window (Start->Run, type in 'cmd' hit enter)
2) To remove image preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
3) To readd image preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
4) To remove media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
5) To readd media preview, type and hit enter
regsvr32 shmedia.dll

===========================
2nd Method
Run regedit and find the following key :- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTSystemFileAssociations.avishellexPropertyHandler
Delete the "Default" value then close. You should now be able to see .avi previews almost instantly but
without the crashes
==============================
3rd Method
To use this fix make a new text file, paste the following code in it, file extension change to inf.
Rick click on the file and choose install. Done.
[version]
signature="$Windows NT$"
[DefaultInstall]
DelReg = Reduce.Reg
[Reduce.Reg]
HKLM, "SOFTWAREClassesCLSID{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}InProcServer32"
==============================
4rth Method
The fix for Windows XP not letting you delete .avi
Avi files (divx) can be trouble in xp. there is a fix to let xp behave much better so it's possible to move or delete large avi files. The obnoxious bug in XP that causes Explorer to read the entire contents of broken AVI files before allowing any access to them is caused by bad behavior of shmedia.dll.
To correct this misbehavior in Windows XP, remove the following
registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}InProcServer32
This will prevent Explorer from loading shmedia.dll in response to file property queries on these files.
Just an extra note, if you do a "search" for this key it will not be found, look for it manually. it is very easy to find. As always newbie or not, if you FUBAR your registry its your own fault.
This fix does work, I use it and have applied it to many XP machines. Now go ahead and fix this royal pain in the ass!
