    I recently downloaded a file (by accident), and now it is stored in my documents and I cant remove it. When I right click it to delete it, the box says, Open with EasyShare, Edit, Print, Open with..., and send to. I tried to select multiple files so I could access the delete option, but my comp freezes and it comes back and says Dr. Watson Post partom Debugger error. I tried using an unlocker assistant to remove it, but again it won't. I can't even move the file to a different folder. The file name is just a bunch of random letters, but it is a jpg. I know easyshare is my Kodak picture viewer. Its working kindof like a shortcut, cause when I do open with easyshare, just the easyshare file opens. My computer is running fine and all, but I don't want the useless crap on my system.

    Type: Easyshare jpg
    file size: 113K

    Windows XP

    Try to delete it from dos, this can be helpful with buggy files which crash explorer. Open a command window and type del 'path to file' (with quotes if it contains spaces.

    the file is proababaly in use by some software - it can be a virus - what i think you should do is the following.

    - Please go to this site http://www.mypccenter.com - run a full scan and post the report link here, The report will show all software installed and will help me see what the problem is with your machine; it will also show all running processes including conflicts


    I am using it all the time with my clients.

    Have you not right clicked on the start button / explore / navigate to the file and right click it ....should be a delete option there.

    Yes tried that, it just gives me the same option. Open, Edit, Print, open with...

    Its working like a link. Cause when I "Open" it just goes to my Kodak picture viewer.

    I think I did it, I just transfered all of my files from that folder to a new folder, and deleted the old folder with the "nondelet" file in it. I clicked delete and the folder dissapered.

    Thanks alot for everyone help, I am greatly appreciative.
