| I'm stumped. I've got a small but growing group of files on a | shared NT | server that won't be deleted not matter what I try. Hmm... Are you sure they are not in use? Anyway, try http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q228/9/30.ASP and d/l inuse.exe. This will delete the file on startup of the system, eliminating the possibility of being in use. If it doesn't work, it is something else.... <rory disposition="ahh... system administration -- it's sure not development!" alt="8)"/>
