unable to delete Windows.edb file
I am trying to delete my Windows.edb file which is in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows I have indexing service set to manual and off. I also have Microsoft Search disabled. But when I try to delete the Windows.edb file, I get a file in use message and it won't delete. What else uses it? I am also getting a bungh of MSSBC4xx.log files that show up in the same folder. There are about 50 of them now. Where do they come from? And is it related to my being unable to delete the ..edb file? Thanks, Tom |

Reboot in Normal Mode and report back with your progress! HTH nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk |
