sn0wl 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) Unlocker Unlocker is a tool to get rid of those messages: Cannot delete file: Access is denied There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use. The file is in use by another program or user. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. When you have annoying message given by Windows like that... Simply right click the folder or file and select Unlocker If the folder or file is locked, a window listing of lockers will appear. Simply select the lockers and click Unlock and you are done!

Guest Guest Report post Posted March 14, 2006 the only problem i have is that every time i deleted "msn gaming zone"(empty and useless folder-.-) and "pinball" (out of windows nt folder) it gets recreated when i restart my computer... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sn0wl 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 Probably Window's or file protection system or whatever it is called replaces them. Could be MSN itself that is creating the msn gaming zone folder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
