Are you sure it's not a system file?

see if you can drag it into another folder, probably won't let you though...

Find out what process is using it and shut it down with task manager...

i have this problem with a file on my desktop that failed to completely download, now i cant get rid of it. is it possible to have windows delete a file before everything loads up on startup?

Sniper101 · 08-23-2005, 10:42 PM

you can write a type of boot virus that says, "delete such and such file at start up" or you can delete it in dos, other than that now
