hey there. ive just signed up as i have a shortcut type file on my desktop that's been downloaded (family computer) and now i am unable to remove it. when i try to delete, move, or rename it, i get the following error:
"Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk."
the file name is [TorrentReactor.to] - Moving Places S.2 zip.torrent
im thinking there's some kind of removal program that'll simply get rid of it? any help much appreciated! thanks

You can download CCleaner a freeware application that will clean out unwanted files etc. and also has a uninstall option for uninstalling programs ! I've been using it on my PC I run the cleaner about once a week, it also has a registry cleaner which will offer you a option to back up the registry before it scans it and then list registry keys it feels you do not need ! Here is a link for you >http://www.ccleaner.com/ Good Luck ,Nick
