MoveOnBoot - move or delete files on next reboot
MoveOnBoot allows you to copy, moves or delete files on the next system
boot. This comes in very handy, if you need to replace or delete files
which are locked by other applications, loaded into memory or cannot be
changed until next system boot. You could manually enter a line to the
wininit files, but using MoveOnBoot is much simpler, since the program
can be integrated into shell - it creates the "Copy/Move/Delete on
boot" context menu item.

Delete files that are difficult to delete, such as some files left by
viruses and trojans, or files with corrupted file names. This program
can also delete files like the "index.dat" files, which store Internet
history, by scheduling them for deletion upon system restart. Select a
file to delete from the built-in file browser or drag a file to the
application's icon or window from Window's Explorer.

BusyDelete will delete files even if they are busy. The file(s) you
specify will be marked for deletion. Then the next time you reboot your
system the Operating System will delete the file(s). For example BDEL
ATL.DLL will delete the file during the next reboot.
