zlim Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Get a program called Move On Boot (it also deletes things that won't go away).http://www.snapfiles.com/get/moveonboot.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martini Lover Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 I didn't get that far. I should have tried Google first before posting here. I just thought it was something simple and easy, that one of you would say "oh ya, just do this" and bingo.Surprise for me.I have about 5 file unlocker programs now, and the one that worked..........and I haven't rebooted yet was UNLOCKERI appreciate you all for looking and helping. I admit, I was just lazy and looked for the easy way out.Lions won their first one.Tigers won their last seven.The Wings and Pistons look promising.Go DetroitThanks again, I am happy Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveydoom Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Good job. At least now you have about 5 options if you ever need them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2cm Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 You could have tried a 'rebuild icons' from TweakUI's "Rebuild". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Glad you found my all time favorite UNLOCKER worked for you! That is one amazing little piece of software!Wish I had been here earlier to suggest it but was at client's all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
