Solve : Literally driving me insane...? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Ok....this might not seen like a big problem to some people, however i always have my desktop clean. To the point of not being able to relax otherwise etc. I dont know if its OCD of some kind i hope not but it drives me nuts when it isn't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/clear-408920" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CLEAR">CLEAR</a>. Anyway to the problem, i can't delete "cabal_total" from my desktop and it is literally driving me insane, i also have a lot of work to do and don't seem to be able to with a messy desktop. It gives me the whole this file is being used by another program etc <br/><br/>Here are some things i have done so far:<br/>-Tried renaming<br/>-Restarted various times<br/>-Ran AVG/Spybot/Adaware<br/>-Renaming (can rename but it does nothing)<br/>-Moving and then hopefully deleting (won't even move)<br/>-Used task manager to see if ther are any random processes running it could be attached to<br/>-Shut down just about all the running programs (i think)<br/>-Punched my monitor<br/>-Punched keyboard<br/>-Shed a tear, lol<br/><br/>As for <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/specs-3053948" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SPECS">SPECS</a> etc:<br/>-Vista<br/>-8Gb DDR2 8000 ram<br/>-2.67 Mhz <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/dual-749" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DUAL">DUAL</a> Core<br/>-320 GB HD<br/>-GeForce 8800<br/>And the program itself was from Cabal Online an online MMORPG, it seemed to be part of the downloading package that started on my desktop. It seemed to be taking ages so i stopped it and managed to delete the other parts of it, this i have done before and it managed to delete all of it, making this case even more confusing.<br/><br/>So please....it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/honestly-480286" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HONESTLY">HONESTLY</a> is literally driving me up the wall ;-;have you tried in safe mode and/or with killbox??I found 'unlocker'just lately.I was having the same problem.Remember<br/>to read the readme txt that installs with the program.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.saviour-pc.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=27&act=down">GoHere</a>i have dled that just havent need to use it yetIt sounds like the file might be part of a process.<br/><br/>Have you tried running the uninstaller? (Start>Control Panel>Uninstall a Program)<br/><br/>If there is no uninstaller, click Start>Run and type:<br/>msconfig<br/>(press enter or click OK)<br/><br/>Click the "Startup" tab<br/>See if you can find anything that contains that file name. If you do, uncheck the check box, click OK, and restart your computer, and then try deleting. KingK, I do not think you are obsessive at all. Or, perhaps, if you are then I am too, because I just hate a cluttered desktop that looks like a Christmas tree. I do not have a single shortcut on my desktop. In my opinion, only very badly written software, which is better avoided, insists on dumping crap all over the desktop.<br/><br/>I think that Unlocker program that has been mentioned might <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/well-734398" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WELL">WELL</a> do the trick.<br/><br/>Or if not, you could try the Desktop component of Tweak UI, which ships as part of Microsoft PowerToys for XP<br/><br/>which you can get here<br/><br/><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx</a><br/><br/><br/><br/>Since you've got a ton of suggestions already, I might as well add another.<br/><br/>You can search for the file with <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx">Process Explorer</a>. This will tell you what program(s) is using it. Simply close the handle and it should allow you to remove it.</p></body></html> | |
