Will MS finally fix the undeletable AVI's in SP2?

[Broken AVI]

I haven't tried SP2 beta.

Does it (or will it) fix XP's inability to delete broken
AVI files?

I know there are a half dozen different 3rd party reg key
fixes etc. for it, but it seems to me that after 3 years,
Microsoft should finally get around to fixing this bug.

Shouldn't you be posting in the SP2 newsgroups?
