The first time is a shortcut, the second time its the actually file itself, so if I personally delete that, the finle is gone, but thats just me, but the problem seems similiar to what I had, thats how I got rid of it....permanetely.

This also happens with other things I have downloaded -any ideas, bwhiz, what to do to stop this happening?

I would think Dan or Steve may do though? Suggest that you keep an ey on your post for other posts. I hope you find something soon.

I believe registration is mandatory, however, their services are free: - http://forum.piriform.com/ [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Deleting photos/videos Friday, August 10, 2007 at 5:49 pm Posted by Jazz (2028 messages posted) EDIT: Personally, I use Eraser v5.84, which is Vista compatible.
