Archive: deleting unregistered dll files (like shellextensions)


i've noticed that a shell extension that has been used cannot be deleted until after windows reboots, how would i get around this, or que the shell extension dll (file) in windows so that it can be deleted the next time windows reboots, and of course the folder it was in (since i want a nice clean uninstall)


hi,

the commands you have to use are 'Delete' (with the flag /REBOOTOK) and/or 'RMDir'.

e.g.:
Delete /REBOOTOK whatever.dll
RMDir whatever_dir
