For invalid/UNC file/folder name deleting, rather than the in use problem
Locked Files Wizard formerly CopyLock is a simple assistant that allows you to replace, to
move, to delete and to rename one or more files or folders which are in use by the system
or any other process.
CopyLock is a small program that allows replacing, moving, renaming or deleting one or
many files which are currently in use (e.g. system files like comctl32.dll, or
virus/trojan files.)

| Hi,
|
| On the desktop on one of my domain clients there is a hidden file of 0
| kb (empty file) which causes an error message at each logout (file
| <filename> not found, cannot update the central user profile).
|
| I cannot delete, edit or rename this file to have it removed. I have
| also run scandisk in case there was a problem with the fat or smth but
| the problem persists.
|
| How can I blast this file entry off the disk?
