I have in the past been able to remove an offending fil by doing two things. 1) Right click on the file and choose Properties. Turnoff Read Only attribute. Then say OK. 2) Right click on file again and rename it, making sure to chane the extension to something else (like.old). If it allows you to rename. you can now delete the file. Hope this works for you Donald F Lindberg

The dll "SnagItShellExt.dll" can not be removed as I get error message "Cannot delete SnagItShellExt: Access is denied. Make Sure the disk is not full or wrute protected and that the file is not currently in use". I am using Amdin login and I have deleted every othe related file including registry entry manually. The SnagIt people have been very co-operative, but to no avail. Anyone know how to access this file? TIA Ara
