With office XP or 2000 or without them. Of course you could delete the file through the command prompt. :D Another interesting thing; in win2000 and winXP, the browser ( iexplore or explorer or ... ) hangs & shows the message that send this error to microsoft & restart the browser. In win.NET it crashes the browser & restarts it without any message. But..... After u log off & again log on; it now shows the messages to you; one by one. It shows the stability of .NET system that keeps the messages for u. :))
