File will not delete

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I was trying to save a web page to my desk top. The file some how saved as
an .exe file and will not delete. An error message pops up claiming that: It
is being used by another perosom or program. Close any programs that might
be using the file and try again." I have no programs running and have killed
all applications in the system tray. Also, the application manager says
there are no programs running. My last attemps was to go through DOS and
try that way, but even then I'm still at a dead end.

I'm at my witts end here and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

May be that is a Virus which just infected your system and is not
allowing you to delete the ".exe" files. Try scanning for a virus. If you
machine is not infected, under "Task Manger", "Preocesses" tab, look for that
exe. There are times when a task it running but not shown under "Application"
Tab of the Task Manger

What happens if you drag the file to the waste basket?

Install this program called unlocker after it is installed then right click
the file or folder and select Unlocker. If the file or folder is locked then
a window will appear with a list of processes locking the file or folder.
Select the locks and click Unlock and you are done.

try Killbox http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/killbox.zip

It's generally a bad idea to install programs from places not
approved publicly by the program author. You can find Unlocker at
the author's site, < http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ >.

Notice as a public service:

Do not download *anything* from Butthead. If you want a program, go to the
web site of the maker of the program and do not take a chance with
Butthead's download. There is no telling what you're really getting from
this jerk.

Stop posting in these groups if you don't want a response to your post -
oh, and don't post a reply about/to me and expect me to not reply.

Grow up before your mom takes the computer away from you.

Just threaten Leythos. Tell him you're going to hold your breathe until you
die. That should scare him enough and get him off your back.
