PREFACE
-------
This program, minus About window, has been sitting
on my harddrive for months and I thought it was
about time to get it released. I added the About window,
cleaned-up a few loose ends and et voil - here we are.


PURPOSE
-------
Windows XP AVI Fix was created to help alleviate the
problem a lot of XP users have: selecting an .avi file
in Explorer causes Explorer to lock that file while it
attempts to extract video and audio summary information
from it. While doing this, the file is completely locked
and cannot be renamed, moved, or deleted.

On big .avi files, this lock can last for minutes.

Please note: Once this fix has been applied, the information
normally present in the Summary tab in the File Properties
dialog (right-click on .avi file, select Properties, and then
the Summary tab) will not be available.

To get it back, simply run Windows XP AVI Fix again and
select Restore. Hit Start and (possibly) restart your PC.


TROUBLE-SHOOTING
----------------
If you get an error when you start the program (about a file missing
or whatever), then you will need to download the VB Runtimes pack:
