Hello Carla,
It would help us to better assist if you mention which operating system you
use (Windows 98, Me, etc.) and any other pertinent information such as the
name of the file to include the file extension.
Reading between the lines and based on what is available from that Web site,
I'm assuming you have the "FileUtilities 2.9 (English) MSI-Setup". The
".msi" extension tells you it's a Microsoft Installer File, which requires
the Microsoft Installer on your computer. If you purchased this program, I
suggest you go back and download the executable version (EXE-Setup). It
should install with no problem.
Windows won't let you delete a file that is in use. If you only want a
program to delete these seemingly undeletable files, you can scroll down to
where the Old Version (Freeware) files are listed and download MoveOnBoot
1.9.5 (English), EXE-setup. It's free and should work for you.
"DelinvFile.exe" is another free program that I use at times. You can get it
here: http://www.purgeie.com/delinv.htm
I hope this helps. Good luck...

Subject: [PCSOFT] Delete undeletables
Dear Sir:
I was sent a handy dandy little tool to fix my problem of not being able to
delete files. I got it at:
http://www.gibinsoft.net/gipoutils/fileutil/
My problem, now, is that my computer can not find a program to open it. It
asks me to suggest one but I don't have a clue. I was sent to the web but
got nowhere. I'm a beginner.
Please help me. Carla Moore
