Don't panic Nigel Powell answers your technology queries
Q: I have an AVI file that I cannot delete. Help! Waleed El Tair, via e-mail
A: Try creating a simple text file. Give it the same name as the file you want to delete, and copy it into the same directory. When Windows asks to overwrite, click yes, and delete. Alternatively, change your Windows Explorer view to icons and try again. If this fails, go to Start, Run and type in "cmd". Once the command prompt appears, type regsvr32/ u shmedia.dll, then delete the file.
That's pure Kafka! I'm so glad I don't live in that world!
Good morning! Ted.
