| 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"

| 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: Quote:
reboot | |
