Ever have one of those files that is hell to delete from windows XP? Well I just had one and that is the reason for this off topic post. I tried from the command promt, renaming, changing characteristics -everything short of going into the registry.

Then I found this free program, Moveonboot, that can move or delete a file at the beginning of a boot before windows has a chance to touch it . . . and it worked! So, if you have any undeletable files on XP, this is the tool that works to get them off.
