Delete Files

Shift-Delete problems.

Is there a simple way to delete files and folders without XP Pro
stopping the process when it comes to a file that is locked?

i.e. ignore the locked files and just do all others.

Yes there are utilities that does this, I think most other file managers
work this way. But I only run into this normally in the Windows temp
folder. Is that the one that you are having trouble with?

If so, it is pretty easy for me. Anything with older dates usually go
easily. It is usually the most recently modified ones that can be locked.

Not just that folder.

I have other utilities too but was wondering if Win had a way.
