Deleting file

[Mehul Malhotra]

Hi everyone! I am having problems removing a file. I
saved it to my desktop, its a service pack for SQL Server
6.5 and now I cant seem to remove it, even when I restart
the comp and try to delete it, I get the message that it
is being used by some program or user... something like
that.. there are no other users on the system so if you
guys have any idea then please let me know.
Thanks a lot

Hey Kelly! Tried using that and it still didn't work,
also tried to use Process Explorer. When searching for
the handle, I found it in explorer.exe and tried to kill
the handle before deleting the file. Even that didn't
work. I can't move the damn file I cant do anything with
it and its really pissing me off now!! So if anyone out
there has any other suggestion please let me know.
Once again thanks Kelly for the quick reply.

You might try to login as Owner or Administrator, then reboot into Safe-Mode
to detele the file.
