How to force overwrite a file
Hi,

I have a question of the "File" command and "SetOverwrite" attribution.

There is NO "force overwrite".

Is there a way I can do a "force overwrite"? Which means if a file is not be able to be written to(for example, it is still in use), the "File" command automatically set the reboot flag, and the file can be replaced after reboot.

Just like "Delete" command may not be able to delete a file right now, it set the reboot flag and the file can be deleted after reboot.

Thanks,
Roger

That's because a temporary file has to be created. Someone just modified one of my macros for this situation:
