I did not know that - That's a good catch!

Same here; excellent tip, OEM!

I tried Killbox...and checked out that link - hasn't got rid of it so far. The title is really long with no option to rename, so I'm not even sure if I am typing it into cmd.exe correctly for deletion...but Killbox was a no-go.
Thanks again!

-- Can you copy and paste the full path of the file into this thread for us?

-- Were you able to make the registry change as per the instructions in the link OEMGuy gave?

[Mandi329]

No it won't let me copy & paste - but yes I did make that registry change.

Mandi, can you tell us the exact name of this file and where it is located?

Example: C:\Windows\videofile.avi

That way I will be able to tell you the command you could try in Command-Line.
