| 876541 | 2010-04-14 12:07:00 | If you used a Bit Torrent client to download them, you are probably still seeding. | decibel (11645) | ||
| 876542 | 2010-04-14 21:03:00 | What *usually* happens is the thumbnails are still trying to be generated / updated. Changing the folder view settings to "list" means that windows doesn't need to try and generate any details, however it's worth noting that when you click on it, the likes of Win7 especially will try and show you the length of the video down the bottom in the status bar. I'm unsure if this happens in WinXP though... |

I'm unsure if this happens in WinXP though... XP does try & display the dimensions & length of the video in the status bar, IIRC. You just need to wait until this has displayed before trying to delete it, otherwise you get the denied message - even in list view. It annoyed me no end until I realised I needed to be a little more patient :D |
