got two TMP files I can't delete . . .

[notjoeken]

I periodically clean up the *.snm and *.tmp file [recommended by a Netscape Tech support] expensive tip to learn :-( I guess that was what was causing Netscape to lock-up and shut down now and then ....

The two TMP files I can't delete are ZLT7090.tmp and Acr1123.tmp .... Access is denied ? ? ?

Now that I have shut everything down and re-booted after deleting that DownloadWare folder with it's Dw.exe file ! I just did a file find of the *.tmp files ... and those two were still there .... the Acr1123.tmp finally let me delete it ..... but the ZLT7090.tmp still gives me the Access is denied ! I had nothing open except the File Find window ... Anyone know what that could be ? ? ? It's in my C:\Windows\TMP folder ....

goto START|SHUTDOWN|RE-START IN MS-DOS MODE

At DOS prompt type the following:

C:
CDCD WINDOWS
CD TMP
DELTREE *.* > NUL

Re-start your computer
The files will be gone

Hope this helps!

Start the machine in DOS-mode. If the files cannot be deleted by a DEL-command, check file attributes. Remove read only and hidden attributes.

Forget dos. Try deleting them from safe mode first. And if DownloadWare was in add/remove programs in the control panel you should have uninstalled it from there rather than deleting the programs folder. In case you don't know, always uninstall a program from add/remove or using the programs uninstaller if it comes with one. If it's not in add/remove and it doesn't have an uninstall.exe file then you can delete the programs folders and files.
