trying to delete a shortcut

I uninstalled a program before deleting the shortcut first.when I tried to remove the shortcut then it would'nt delete because he couldn't find the program file.

Try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

I hope this helps.

  • Problem restoring previous version of FF bookmarks, "Unable to process the file of backup.", already tried to delete "places.sqlite".

    I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 on a computer that has not been used for about a year. Before wiping the HARD drive, I saved Firefox bookmarks in the form of a .json file (I don't know what version of FF was installed on the computer before, but I know it was at least a year).

    After reinstalling Windows and install Firefox 24.0, I tried to restore the bookmarks using the "Bookmarks-> import" and backup-> restore-> Choose File... "option. I get the error says "Failed to process the backup file."

    I tried to search for this problem but I couldn't find anything precise. It sounds ridiculous because I just installed FF, I tried to delete the file "places.sqlite" based on other similar problems, but that did not fix the problem.

    My only thought is that it must be a problem with incompatible versions of FF bookmarks. Is it possible to recover bookmarks in the .json file?

    Oh my god. I removed the comma, who pointed out the error report and file and bookmarks have been restored!

    How this comma go?

  • Door-key block tries to delete the password

    I have problems with a soft (git) suspended when trying to update a password in my keychain on El Capitan, so I went in the ring to try to remove this password manually so that I would be again prompted to enter the next time that I used this application. I am able to copy the password from the keychain, but if I try to delete the keychain, I have a rotation of death beach ball and force quit keychain. I tried to delete a different password in my keychain (chose an obsolete old), then the same thing happens. I searched other users having the same problem and cannot find a case like this, but surely someone else has had this problem.

    I recently installed LastPass to manage my passwords for browsing the Web and like, but as far as I know, only imported LastPass to my Keychain passwords and that it is not write directly in the keychain or otherwise control. And read the passwords (as evidenced by a successful copy) works very well. She is simply trying to update the keychain dangling Keychain with the rotation of death beach ball.

  • Im trying to delete a file from my computer...

    Im trying to delete a file from my computer to free up space sum but when I go to delete it is impossible to delete the file "C:\6ace0ee039abdce9ea240" said. Nothings lock or something. So I don't know what can someone give me an overview of sum?

    This is most likely a temporary file created by a security or other Windows update.  Restart the PC and see if you can delete it then.  If this isn't the case, then you may want to assess the question to seize the property and removing against evil, it could cause if it isn't a vestige.  In addition, he is unlikely to win a significant amount of disk space, clean as you do only puts off the coast of the inevitable hard drive upgrade - if the drive is full, get a larger.
