    Hi,

    1- Installation of SP2, take a long time but OK.
    2- The problem :
            -> SP2 add shortcut to IE and WMP on my Quick lauch bar.
            -> Trying to delete it : 'explorer.exe - Application Error'
            -> Trying with the old fashioned del of command prompt : OK.
            -> From the event viewer :
            'Application popup: explorer.exe - Application Error : The instruction
            at "0x01f9415b" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could
            not be "written".'

            => In fact, each time I right click on desktop Icon, explorer.exe
            hang.

    3- The solution :
            -> From sysinternal take 'Filemon'. Activate Filmon and try to do the
            job and see what's happen.

            -> renaming EncodeDivXExt.dll to _EncodeDivXExt.dll
            (or deleting from registry this key :
             [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\EncodeDivXExt])

            => System seems to work like a charm.

    Olivier.
