re: Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk Tuesday, February 19, 2002 at 7:39 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by drew (1 messages posted) That link has great information. Using it, I was able to delete what NTFS/Explorer couldn't. However, unlike everyone else who has posted on this topic, my situation did not involve hackers, but rather software on my computer. I'm using a Canon DZ 3600U Document Camera to prepare slides of print materials for use in instryuctional presentations. So far I cannot pinpoint one necessary factor, but when I am exporting jpgs from the program, it occasionally creates these files and directories that I cannot delete. I will be making a couple hundred slides over the next few months, so in my case the solution given above is only a slight mitigation of the continuing annoyance. Thanks for freely sharing information! On Tuesday, February 5, 2002 at 1:24 pm, David Prendergast wrote: >OK, found a solution to the remaining issues.
