Try Unlocker from my signature, let unlocker assistant install to run at start up, reboot, check for a wand in the taskbar open the file

When i right mouse click to use UnLocker, the wand isnt there, its just the same options "open with blah blah" "burn to blah" etc

You should have this on a right click



Also, if the wand is showing in the taskbar then any attempt to open the file should start Unlocker

New feature: Unlocker Assistant. Unlocker Assistant stays in your system tray bar and automatically launches Unlocker if you are trying to delete/rename/move a file that is locked. So for those who use Unlocker Assistant, no need to right click files or folders anymore. This feature can be deactivated during the install

Use move on boot, start this then drag the file into the move on boot window

This is the screen print of all options on the right mouse click of this file, with unlocker and move on boot installed.

Plus when i try to do it in move on boot, the file name is invalid, it has a # in it, if that matters, but yeah i cant even rename it. Its a really long file name just to mention

Thanks, but really need more help, sorry.

Move on boot will be in start, all programmes Gipo@utilities



Click next



Drag the file in to the white box or browse for it, click next, confirm, reboot

This is the screenprint of what happens

It says the above file name is invalid

Click start then run, type msconfig then press enter then start up, have you got any new entries, especially with no name / empty square boxes, if you have remove the ticks, click apply and reboot, try the file

Also try booting to safe mode to see if you can remove / rename the file

[e-minor]

Tried both methods, neither worked... any more ideas?

It cannot be a nice file otherwise those programmes would have dealt with it, also they should have installed differently
