I've tried a few things . I checked the Permissions and even though my
name was checked in Permissions I could not delete the file AWDFLASH.EXE .
Did I mention it was an .EXE file ?
I tried a command prompt using the switches RD/SC:\Documents and
Settings\..me..\Desktop\AWDFLASH.EXE , or rather an experimented version of
the command after several unacceptable switch commands failed , and found
the opened file . Then I was to open Notepad and Save As an empty file of
the name AWDFLASH.EXE then delete the empty file , the direction was , "
Under save as , navigate to the file , delete .
I think that created another file with the same name in MyDocuments .
I'm not certain , but I don't think that file was in MyDocuments before I
started trying the command . I don't think it was there .
I would rather do this in Windows than use a Utility from somewhere else
..
The file is a Bios Flash file and it is my guess it has particular
permissions or .....somethings elses ?
 
tried Safe Mode delete
tried Full Control delete
don't want to use KillBox
I'm not sure I read Kelly's Korner's advice correctly as in my above post
..

Tried these:
- Boot into safe mode, delete it.
- Take ownership and delete it.
