From: Cats Whiskers on 20 May 2010 19:34 Hello MS Word Users, I have a desktop computer with a Word document on it put there from another computer which was a laptop. The desktop runs Windows XP and Word XP. The laptop runs Vista and Word 2007. When I try to delete the Word document from the desktop computer I receive an error message saying the file cannot be deleted because I do not have access and that the file may be in use. How do I delete the file from the desktop computer? Sincerely, Cats Whiskers
From: Yves Dhondt on 22 May 2010 17:57 Have you tried rebooting the computer? That sometimes releases old locks on the file. If that doesn't work, you could try Unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/).

Thank you for answering and advising for this issue, Yves Dhondt, The computer had this file on it through many reboots because we had been trying to remove it for quite awhile now. Your web address for unlocker, however, proved to be very useful. We were able to remove the file with it.
