- And another one: Maybe the file is still locked by another program.
- Rebooting your machine will usualy help...
-
- IF the file is empty, and therefore cann't be deleted. Try opening it in
- an editor and type something in it. Then the file ain't empty anymore..
-
- If the name is the problem, maybe you still can RENAME the file, and THEN
- delete it..

-
- Just some suggestions....
