| Guest | Delete File on Desktop I placed a Micosoft Word file, Custom.dic on the desktop to conveniently save it in unicode as required by Word Spelling. The problem now is I can't get it off my desktop. I have deleted it several times--using ordinary delete and wiping with encryption programs. The file temporarily disappears from the desktop, but it reappears after the next reboot. Any way to get rid of the file on my desktop? |
