Thanks for the reply. I remember having the same problem when I tried to uninstall WinZip. After a lot of tries, one day the file was just gone. Seems like a stupid way to deal with things. Is there an equivalent to the Linux 'fuser' command for cygwin? That would show what process was accessing it. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
