Did you use F3 to find next until it had been through the registry
Entries can be in software of current user and local machine
I did use F3; thanks for that tip. After uninstalling last night, I also found a DAP folder in the registry and deleting it. Today, after your post, I did a search for Speedbit, found one instance and deleted it. I searched the registry completely and don't see anymore DAP or Speedbit.
I went into Safe Mode, and tried everything to delete DAP but to no avail. I tried moving it, renaming it, dragging it to the desktop, dragging it to the recycling bin, but the error is always the same: access denied: make sure the disk is not full....
In Safe Mode, I made sure I had write access and not just read-only, but still couldn't delete the folder. It's really a mystery.
I've been using computers for about 10 years and have never come across something this stubborn to remove. Heck, removing Malware is easier!

No log entry.In the DAP folder, is there a log entry
If you click start, my computer, local disc C then click documents and settings, your name, application data (possibly hidden)
Is there a speedbit or DAP folder there
The path is like this:
DAP folder
Inside DAP is one folder called History. I tried deleting that and got the same error.
Inside History are two empty folders. One is named Mitch and other is named Tyler (they use the computer too).
All people on this machine have administrator privileges with read, write, delete access. I can't delete Mitch or Tyler folders either.
I saw a lot of garbage I didn't need (and deleted) under Application Data, but nothing related to DAP or Speedbit.
Thanks for that tip, as it helped me delete some unnecessary Application Data folders/files.

When I downloaded the file on that forum, it comes in as an EX_ file instead of an EXE file.
When I try to change the file type to EXE, it simply changes the file name to unwise.exe(ex_) instead of changing the file type. So what I have is still an unknown EX_ file, despite adding .exe for the extension.
I'm wondering how to change the file name so it also changes the file type. Hopefully that makes sense.
Thanks again very much.

try to see if its servicesHi folks,
I downloaded DAP (Download Accelerator Plus) a while ago and upon uninstallation, it left a DAP folder under C:\Program Files.
"Access is denied. Make sure disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."
Jeff
START>>RUN..services.msc>>CLICK OK
LOOK FOR ACCELERATOR PUS AND STOP SERVICES
try to delete it again
or go to system utility configuration
start ...run....msconfig....ok...start up tab...look for.... Accelerator Plus uncheck it and click ok and restart
then try to delete or remove file or folder
or even try to find the program and disable it then delete
or reinstall the program and try to unistall and delete folder again

found a little utility that you might give a try. http://www.diamondcs...p?page=dellater
Thanks a lot for your effort and new ideas, Silverbeard. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, this app just did the same as the others -- would say that the file (DAP) would be deleted upon reboot, but never happens.
I'm still working on the registry. I think tweaking the registry will eventually lead to a solution.
Thanks again to everyone. When/if I find a solution, I promise to post back here to this thread with it.
Many thanks,
Jeff
