Undeletable file
-----Original Message----- Have an old file folder which contain(ed) some sports icons. The system says its corrupt and will not allow me to delete this file. It said to run a Dskchk on the file but that won't work because in the dos mode, it states this is a read only operation. I tried the "MoveonBoot" program from GiPo@Utilities and had no luck. I don't want this file but the system, XP Home, won't let me get rid of it. Any suggestions? Thanks, for your help! . Do you have admin rights to the box? You may want to try deleting through dos. Go to a command prompt and try to delete it. del whatever the directory is. |

To make it a bit easier, I recomend u use Norton Commander - while it is still a DOS program, it makes using DOS much easier, especially after a few years of working with Wins. Also, make sure that no other program is accessing the file, and if u want to delete the directory, no prog should have it open. -- Prokonsul Piotrus aka Piotr Konieczny "Lennier, get us the hell out of here."
