Or you can try this

Open Notepad.exe

Click File>Save As..>

locate the folder where ur undeletable file is

Choose 'All files' from the file type box

click once on the file u wanna delete so its name appears in the 'filename' box

put a " at the start and end of the filename
(the filename should have the extension of the undeletable file so it will overwrite it)

click save,

It should ask u to overwrite the existing file, choose yes and u can delete it as normal


Here's a manual way of doing it. I'll take this off once you put into your first post zain.

1. Start
2. Run
3. Type: command
4. To move into a directory type: cd c:\*** (The stars stand for your folder)
5. If you cannot access the folder because it has spaces for example Program Files or Kazaa Lite folder you have to do the following. instead of typing in the full folder name only take the first 6 letters then put a ~ and then 1 without spaces. Example: cd c:\progra~1\kazaal~1
6. Once your in the folder the non-deletable file it in type in dir - a list will come up with everything inside.
7. Now to delete the file type in del ***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc... And if the file name has spaces you would use the special 1st 6 letters followed by a ~ and a 1 rule. Example: if your file name was bad file.bmp you would type once in the specific folder thorugh command, del badfil~1.bmp and your file should be gone. Make sure to type in the correct extension.

Prevent users from using USB removable disks (USB flash drives)

Whenever a new USB device is plugged-in to a USB port, the operating system checks
the device and hardware id to determine if it's a storage device or not. If it determines that
it is indeed a mass storage device it will load the appropriate driver, and will display the
device as a drive in the Windows Explorer tree view. This is done by using the
usbstor.sys driver.
If the device does not have a drive letter, you will need to assign one to it by using the
Disk Management snap-in found in the Computer Management tool.
If you disable the ability of the usbstor.sys driver to run on the computer, you will in fact
block the computer's means of discovering the flash drive and loading the appropriate
driver.
Note: This tip will allow you to block usage of USB removable disks, but will continue
to allow usage of USB mice, keyboards or any other USB-based device that is NOT a
portable disk.
Block usage of USB Removable Disks
To block your computer's ability to use USB Removable Disks follow these steps:
1. Open Registry Editor.
2. In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR
4. Locate the following value (DWORD):
Start
and give it a value of 4.
5. Close Registry Editor. You do not need to reboot the computer for changes to
apply.
Enable usage of USB Removable Disks
To return to the default configuration and enable your computer's ability to use USB
Removable Disks follow these steps:
1. Go to the registry path found above.
2. Locate the following value:
Start
and give it a value of 3.

Paste this into the google search window (not the adress bar):

Rapidshare Timelimit

Directions
Rapidshare traces the users IP address to limit each user to a certain amount of downloading per day. To get around this, you need to show the rapidshare server, a different IP address. You can do this one of multiple ways.

Requesting a new IP address from your ISP server.

Here's how to do it in windows:
1. Click Start
2. Click run
3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
4. When the command prompt opens type the following. ENTER after each new line.ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
exit
p5. Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.
6. Try the rapidshare download again.
Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens. Sometime you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a fixed IP address, this method will not work. To be honest, I do not know how to do this in linux/unix/etc. If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands into a batch file, and just run it when yoou need it
