Hey, I have the file OregonTrail-dm which is an installer, the problem that i have with it is that i cant delete it. every time i go to get rid of it, it tells me that it is being used by another program. Does anyone know why this is or how i can get rid of it. Thanks for the help.

I used the program unlocker and tried to delete it. It said that program that was using it was explorer.exe and i know that that proccess can not be killed. I have tried to delete it in safe mode and that was a no go also. Thanks for the help so far, i just dont know what to do. thanks
Try Killbox. Restart in safe mode. Open Killbox.exe. Check "Standard File Kill". Click the folder icon and find the file you want to delete. Then click the red button with a white X.
check in msconfig/startup to see if enabled there. if so than uncheck it, hit apply, ok & restart windows.
perhaps is the filename too long? something like that has happened to me before. Edit the name of the folder to a 1 letter, then delete it. try that..
