Hi,

I've asked for suggestions for this a couple of times in the past. I was running into a problem were temp files created for editable QT movies were not being deleted properly in the close event of my application. On Mac this has been resolved by using the following shell command as suggested on this list:

    myshell=new shell
    myshellcommand="rm -f "+ TheEditFile.shellpath
    myshell.execute myshellcommand
    If myshell.errorCode=0 then
      //success
      //MsgBox "Temp file deleted successfully."
    else
MsgBox "Unable to delete temp file, error code: "+ Str (myshell.errorCode) + "."
    end if
    myshell.close


However, this code does not work on windows. i get the same "file busy" error that I get with the folderitem.delete method.

All references to the file in question and the QT object are closed before this.

Any suggestions for a way to delete the temp files on windows would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
