over time I am getting lots of this. How can I fource
this so I can clean My hard drive.

If it's an AVI file try this...

To correct this misbehavior in Windows XP, remove the
following registry key.

Goto Start>>Run>>Type "regedit" goto

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D9 4-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850D
C73E}\InProcServer32] - Delete this key

This will prevent Explorer from loading shmedia.dll in
response to file property queries on these files.

I have run into this a few times. If you are sure that you don't need
the file, you can boot to command prompt only, then use DOS commands to
delete a file.
