I don't want to make a new thread because of this so I'll post it here:

I started downloading the Crytek Demo exe file and after a while I decided to cancel it because I didn't have the time to dl it. The problem is that the unfinished file is now on my desktop and I can't delete it. I've tried through DOS-prompt without results. It just sais that it may already be in use by another program.

I know this isn't a big problem but I appreciate it if someone comes up with a solution.

This right out of my head so.......

If windows says it use it, try to shot down one process at a time when you ctrl+alt+del.

Its good if you got some knowledge of what the different process does and there is a site where you could read about almost any process and what it means. ( site: http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ )

At least they should have all $nicrosoft´s process there.

Try to delete the file after each process you turn off.

This is what i got in my head right now.

But i think i read something about it and if lucky i might find it again.

oh another thing to try which i think should solve it.

Try press F8 while booting, go into safe mode, delete file, to bad they got DOS mode out with xp :(

Spellbinder.

search for a handle, that is the filename, then just kill either the program or the 'attachment to the file' if its explorer.exe or something important.

That helped. Thanks a bunch. :D

technologically very nice.

only wish they actually had good writing and directing...cause it's utter garbage in this one.

still, this video proves you can do good stuff in the engine.

:-D
