A little tip regarding hijackthis....

I may be late and this has already been posted, if so this is for those who missed it.
Sometimes you want to delete a file in Windows, but you can't because it's "in use" and "access is denied"

In hijackthis there is a "config" button, and in there is a "Misc Tools" tab.
In that tab there is an option to "delete a file on reboot"
Just navigate to the file you want to delete and select it.

After a reboot the file is deleted.

Nice and easy, you don't need to use Dos or some other tedious method, enjoy. :)

After reading this I started poking around Hijackthis. I haven't been using this tool to it's potential at all. Many thanks Norm. :thumbs:
