hey i just used this program on 32 bit vista and it works great got rid of the file and also only took a few seconds amazing
Wow, this was just the ticket. Awesome program.
Very often Windows has a file you inexplicably can't delete. Its not being used -- you've even restarted the machine. It only happens once every month or two for me but its annoying enough that I'm very glad to have this program to handle it.
Nice prog to help us with fight against the viruses!
This program is real small and simple, and is perfect to whack those darn stubborn exe's that just won't DIE!
Both work fine for me.
