Theres something screwy that causes this, ive had it alot of times... There were some tips like open a program with the same extension (doesnt apply proly) or restart if u can.. Ill see if i can find i t, think it was in the forums

[Monkeee]

uhh i dont want..... i remember there's a program that free ups the program that you want :(

[quiksilver_aus]

did you try deleting it in command prompt?


del "c:\file.exe"

[quiksilver_aus]

alright, this might actually work. it deletes the file when you boot up next:

MoveOnBoot (http://www.webattack.com/get/moveonboot.shtml)

[camille]

Restart MS Dos mode find and delete the irritating file.

[Monkeee]

damn no 1 knows it....... i mean there's a program that free's up the file so all you have to do is just click delete.... :(

i just found it from googling

Windows probably won&#39;t release it out of memory. (rebooting typically solves this problem)

But, booting into safe mode will usually allow you to delete such a file.

Otherwise a registry hack is required. This same hack is preformed by programs I believe are similar to those listed above.

Googling this problem will get you more answers though.

p.s. you&#39;ve got to mention which O/S you&#39;re using when asking questions such as yours.

good luck

try deleting it by sharing it through kazaa, then deleting it using kazaa
