Hi everyone,
I made a mistake and coppied a DLL application file in C:\Windows
When I try to delete it in Windows Explorer access is denied.
Is there any way to get rid of it ?
There is no uninstall program.
Thanks in advance.....

If you can't delete it, then it's probably in use by Windows. Try booting into DOS mode and manually deleting it that way.

Start/Shutdown/Restart in MS-Dos Mode
From the DOS Prompt (It will look something like this, C:\> ) Type this
Delete C:\Windows\Urfile.dll
Then Press Enter
Then type Exit
Then Press Enter
