I recently downloaded a download accelerator from "Fresh
Devices".It was stored in Program Files,after I
uninstalled it I found that there is still part of it
left which I cannot delete. The message I keep getting is
Cannot delete fdcatch.dll it is being used by another
person or program.As a new user I Am limited in my
knowledged of where to look to zap the little bugger into
cyber space,any help would be greatly appreciated
Greg.

· Open the Command Prompt window and leave it open.
· Close all open programs.
· Click Start, Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE
· Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe.
· Leave Task Manager open.
· Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the
folder where the undeletable file is in.
· At the command prompt type DEL <filename> (filename is the
file you want to delete).
· Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter
EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell.
· Close Task Manager.
