in the c: drive, under documents and settings i have a file named .plugin140_03.trace it says its a TRACE file, this sounds fishy, but i cant delete it, it says its in use by another person or program. ive shut down every program possible and it still wont delete. there is also a folder named .jpi_cache that i cant delete, i get the same msg. what are these and what do i do???
