Open files problem

I am trying to delete the Default User profile and replace it with another that I have built specially.

I am being told I cannot delete index.dat because some process is using it. The machine has a fresh install and the logged on user is the Domain Admin with local admin rights. I have tried logging on as local admin but still receive the same message when I try to delete.

Is there any way that I can determine which process is using the file and shut it down?

Thanks

 

When a new user logs on to the domain for the first time, their profile is built from the Default User profile. I have a pre-built one that sets things like network printers, standard wallpaper, desktop icons, quick launch icons etc, plus a few other things.

When I build a new machine, I copy over the Default User. Most of the time it works ok, but occasionally, I cannot because of the problem mentioned before.

 

MoveOnBoot will take care of that for you. Download and install it and you will have another right-click menu item added. Use it and select any file you want and that file WILL be gone when you reboot.

 

That is a very useful utility. Many thanks Newt
