It appears when I open a folder in My videos through Windows explorer. I visited this page via Google Search, and apparently it was old problem, the thread was created in 2004 =))

So, this is why my windows encountered this problem.

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 deleting/renaming/moving/etc the file until it’s finished.

To fix it, simply do the following steps:
Click StartRun – type regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll
regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll

It will remove media preview in Windows Explorer. Now, the problem should be disappear.
To re-add media preview, click StartRun – type regsvr32 shmedia.dll
