Hey, Okay, I am using Windows XP Multimedia Edition and the other day, I was downloading a few files just in Firefox with the 'Download Statusbar' extension and I either canceled the downloads or the downloads failed halfway through and now I cannot delete the files off of my desktop, and causing major problems with my ability to perfect my desktop. I have tried: - Deleting them after closing every open program - Deleting them in safe mode - Checking active processes but not in there - Renaming or moving them - I searched google and came across a program called 'Delete Invalid File' but no success When I try to delete one of them the actual error message is: "Error Deleting File or Folder Cannot delete iTunes743Setup: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again." I can't think of any way these files are somehow active. Any ideas? ----- And here is a screenshot just for the point of it, they are the 'CRACK.EXE' file and the 'iTunes' file: http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/7228/desktopfs8.jpg
I'm having the same problem with old user accounts that won't show up in the control panel section of user accounts. If I delete this old user accounts will it affect my computer in any harmful way? They tell me Access Denied.
ashetray, no problem, teach & learn. FL3X, it shouldn't harm your system as long as account is not yours.
