Try the following solution, also works maybe for the 100% cpu problem:

All you have to do to fix this problem is delete the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesCLSID{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}InProcServer32

This prevents explorer from loading shmedia.dll which is used to provide you with properties of AVI (DivX) files. My understanding is that due to the way DivX files are encoded, XP has trouble collecting the properties and gives you the file in use message when you try to delete them.

Works for the file in use bug for avi files. Seems to be the same problem.

Greetings,
I had the same problem with the undeletable avi on both of my computers. The registry entery worked on one of them. The other one I was able to move everything else out of the folder and reboot, I could then delete the folder with the bad Avi. You can always make a new DC downloads folder.
