After posting a problem here regarding "Locked Directories" I've
found it's a bit different than I stated: a compiled program .EXE
becomes "Access Denied" after it's run. I compile the program, and I'm
able to delete the fil;e without difficulty. However, if I run it (even
minimal functionality), something sets a non-visible flag for the file
that makes it impossible to delete (or overwrite) the file. (!!)
I can't imagine what could be causing this, but I am willing to take
a "brute force" approach: if I can find some utility that will delete a
named file _regardless_, I'll use it. Does anyone know of such a
program or batch file sequence that will delete a file, regardless of
its access rights? TIA
