awdflash.exe
 

so i downloaded awdflash off the asus site a couple days ago. and now its on my desktop....and i still cant delete it, whenever i try, windows tells me its in use and i cant delete, theres nothin on the file attributes. i even tried booting from a disk with an ntfs reader to try and delete it from my desktop, and it wont let me do it either....

any ideas how i can get it off my desktop?

" ntfs reader " does just that, read :)

start -> run -> cmd

cd "c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop"
del awdflash.exe


and if that don't work, run "chkdsk"

doesnt work....did u read my post, i tried command prompt

Re: awdflash.exe
 

I read your post for sure, did you read mine?

"NTFS reader"...

did you try safe mode yet?

safe mode was the first thing i tried, i dont get it....what could be stopping me from deleting a dos app off my desktop!?!?!?! and jmke....my bad, i missed the chkdsk part....ADD kicking in

it just occured to me to post a picture of the error i get in windows

create a .bat-file with instructions to delete that specific file and put it in your "startup"-folder in the start-bar

example:

create a new txt-file and change it's name to "delflash.bat", then edit that file and type this:
save the file and put it in the the folder named "startup", located in your "start"-bar

reboot

hmmm, i wonder if that will work

press ctr-alt-del

Quit the "explorer.exe" process

then file --> new --> "cmd"

Delete the file

and finally again file --> new (task) --> explorer.exe
