-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions Sent: 18 February 2008 16:41 To: Profox Subject: [NF] cannot delete old oracle stuff from laptop I've got a folder on my laptop drive called Oracle. It's from a contract gig I had back in 04-05. I no longer use it. I try to delete it and the system says "cannot delete oci.dll. Access is denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." I opened up the task manager and verified that oci.dll is not listed, and I marked the entire folder (and subfolders) as NOT read-only, so I'm not sure why I can't delete it. Details: Win XP Pro - Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop - it's dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses Ideas? tia, --Michael -- Michael J.
