| | Hi, There is this file occupying 3.25 MB which i cannot delete from my account in documents and settings. 'Cannot delete as it is being used by another person or program. Choose another program and try again'. Now i know that the ntuser.dat file that shows itself in cookies is a registry file and i don't try to mess with that, but what about this? I would like to remind everyone that i am an 'eager-beaver' kind of newbie. |

| Hi sadicote
If you go to Start>Control Panel>Folder Options>View, under Hidden Files and Folders is the radio button for Show Hidden Files and Folders chosen? It should be Don't show Hidden Files and Folders.
