how do i delete this file?
it says error deleting file or folder...it is being used by another person or program and also tells me to close any programs that might be using the file and try again.

Try in safe mode, if that does not work post back as the fix will take a while to type up.

Boot from floppy, and delete it, that is guaranteed to work!

"Log off" does the job, but only temporarily. Is there any permanent fix though?
