   Hi,
   
   I have a file on my PC that I want to delete. When I try to delete it using the GUI it does nothing. I opened a CMD window and tried to delte it there, and the system tells me that the filename is too long. I tried to rename it and I get the same results as above. i am using XP with service pack 2
   
   Can anyone help me remove this file please?
   
   Many thanks in advance

   Hi
   
   Try one or all of the below
   
   1. Pocket Killbox
   2. MoveOnBoot this one, once you dragNdrop the file or browse for its location, deletes the file on reboot, so any applications that have locked the file are not running so cannot lock it before deletion.. my fav!
   3. Unlocker
