undeletable?
I have a file that i have a good suspicion isnt meant to be there. it was a
DLL. I tried deleting, it said "Access is denied" I tried deting through DOS and even dos couldn't get "Access." I changed it to a text file fine. I tried cutting it to a floppy but it only copied. I tied opening it as a text file, deleting its insides and saving but it "couldnt find the file or directory specified." It should not be there. Any ideas? |

CopyLock is a small program that allows replacing, moving, renaming or deleting one or many files which are currently in use (e.g. system files like comctl32.dll, or virus/trojan files.) http://noeld.com/programs.asp?cat=misc Another is Killbox, he http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip Unlocker http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ Cannot delete file: Access is denied "Undeletable File?"
