IIRC searching this forum should reveal lots of recent information about that topic (within the last month or so I think).

Have you tried Delete /REBOOTOK?

Without Reboot
I forgot to mention, i need to do it w/out rebooting.

That is, as far as I know, impossible.

Delete Locked Files w/out rebooting
Ghost Installer has a way of doing this, but how, i know not. i also manage to delete these files by killing the process explorer and restarting it. Is there any way to do it???:igor:

I am sorry, I don't know a way of doing this. Search MSDN or with Google, maybe you will find something.
