When you are in close contact with Windows XP, you may often find that you cannot correctly Delete AVI Video files. The specific phenomenon may be that the system prompts "Cannot delete, exit the application Prompt window, even when the system is restarted. Why can't AVI files be deleted in Windows XP? How can we delete AVI files correctly? In fact, this is mainly because Windows XP's multi-media file preview function is confusing, because the function will automatically use the system assumer.exe process to preview the file content when we upload the AVI file. If there is a problem with the AVI file itself or the file is suddenly terminated during access, the file is incomplete, windows XP system will easily stop responding during the preview process, resulting in the failure to delete the event. To delete the AVI file in Windows XP, you can cancel the multimedia preview function of Windows XP by using the following methods:

  1. registry editing Method

Click Start or run to open the system running dialog box, enter regedit, and click OK, open the registry editing window;

Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/classes/CLSID/{87d62d94-71b3-4b9a-9489-5fe6850dc73e} registry Branch one by one with the mouse (Figure 1), and then select the inprocserver32 subitem under the branch, right-click and execute the "delete" command from the shortcut menu, exit the registry editing window, and restart the computer system, in this way, you can cancel the multimedia file preview function of Windows XP.

  2. Direct logout

 

This method uses the "regsvr32/u" command built in Windows XP to directly cancel the dynamic link file related to the multimedia file preview function, thus bypassing the multimedia preview function. Click "start"/"run" command in sequence to open the system running dialog box, and enter the string command "regsvr32/u shmedia. DLL, click OK, and the "shmedia. DLL dllunregisterserver success prompt screen, which indicates that the system's multimedia preview function has been successfully canceled. If you want to use this function again in the future, you can execute the "regsvr32 shmedia. dll" command in the system running dialog box.
