Can´t delete that F****ng file!

I have a file that I can´t delete!

Every time I try to do it, I get a error msg saying that it can´t be deleted because someone else or/and a program is using it.

There is no other user and there is no other program using that file!

And that´s not all, when I have tryed the above the CPU goes to a 100% (process: explorer) and stays there until I log out/restarts.

Anyone had a similar/same problem?
:eek:
 
You're getting that message because a program is using the file. Most likely, there's a service or program set to run on start-up, and that is what's using the file. Your easiest way to delete the file is to start up in safe-mode and delete it then. If that doesn't work, more drastic measures can be taken later. But try that for now.

Thanks a lot! It did the trick, it went a way easy in safe mode.

You are my hero for now! :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
