re: unable to delete a file Saturday, April 1, 2006 at 12:53 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bob D. (5 messages posted) Wow - sorry to bump an old thread but just want to say thanks. I searched this forum and found this thread - the delete in notepad method worked for an .avi file that windows said was in use. Safe mode did not work... When I clicked on the file, explorers virtual memory grew continuously and the CPU went to and stayed at 100 % - it froze my pc. Anyone know why it sent resources soaring? This was on a FAT 32 drive on XP/ THANKS!
