Error Deleting File or Folder

Cannot delete hurlPNM: There has been a sharing violation.

The source or destination file may be in use.


Its only 62 bytes, i just wanted it deleted from the computer. Id really appreciate anyone's help, thanks.

dont know why you want to delete it (what does it do to you ?), but try it in save mode, to get there depending on your system :



If your computer is running Windows 98 or Windows ME

From the Windows Start menu, go to Shut Down and click Restart.

As the computer restarts, press and hold the CTRL key.

From the Windows Start-up menu, type the number for the Safe Mode option or press F5.

Wait for your desktop to appear. Your computer will run slower, and your icons may appear larger with fewer colors. The words Safe Mode appear in all corners of your screen.

As the computer restarts, watch for the message For troubleshooting and advanced startup options for Windows 2000, press F8 at the bottom of the screen.

Press F8 before the message clears the screen.

If your computer is running Windows NT its not possible

yea i forgot to say, i tried safe mode too, got nothin

what is this hurlPNM used for ?
stop the program that is using this, remove this program from the startup-list. then reboot, and try it again if that is not working see if you can get to rename it.

i dont know what its used for or where it came from. the only things in startup are microsoft office and PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe. i dont know what program is using it and cant rename it.

you say....PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe.......
