| 418131 | 2006-01-04 06:56:00 | Hey i have a file that wont delete. I have tried rebooting and signing in as administrator but it still wont delete. I have tried using "delinvfile", a program designed for this situation and the usually delete. But i have CCleaner and for some reason when i run that it says cannot delete "LAUNCH", which is the file i am trying to delete. BTW it says cannot delete LAUNCH it may be being used by another person or program when i try the normal delete. I have also uninstalled and deleted a program that its from. So please help. Cheers |

| 418132 | 2006-01-04 07:01:00 | Try doing the delete in Safe Mode..whatever that file is it should not have much chance of running in such a minimal mode, and you can zap it with ease. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 418133 | 2006-01-04 07:06:00 | I would be carefull make sure you keep at least a copy of that file, rename if you wish. There is a reason for its being stubbon, the worst of which is if you are successful in the delete, ITS A REQUIRIED SYSTEM FILE. |

| 418137 | 2006-01-04 07:12:00 | Im pretty sure its not important becauese its from Dark Basic Proffesional(a program used for making games). But ill make a copy of it. | Crusader (9537) | ||
| 418138 | 2006-01-04 09:56:00 | Miscellaneous Tools in Hijackthis has a tool for deleting on reboot. There are many others ie DrDelete. Copy it by Winzipping it or you may have the same problem again. | zqwerty (97) | ||
