| Guest | cannot delete a file I finally found a useful program that solved the problem about the error message cannot delete file because it is in use by another program. It comes down to permissions and who actually owns the file. The progam name is aclview and is available here. http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dlaclview.html. I was able to remove the files that i could not remove quite easliy once i saw who was holding permissions. I was suprised at who had permissions. |

ACLView 1.4.104.17 Freeware download page - tested and reviewed software downloads from SnapFiles.

To piggy back on the post, readers can read this tutorial on adding "take ownership" to the context menu when needed. (right clicking on a file or folder). Here's the link: Context Menu - Take Ownership |
