Deleting Through DOS

[Castro2]

I need to delete a file with the extension "C:\Program Files\Go!Zilla\GoIEHlp.dll". Sorry, I'm not to edcutated in DOS.

Hi Castro2,
Can't you delete this in windows?
Click <start><find><files/folders>
type in GoIEhlp.dll and in the [look in] box make sure it shows "C:\" without quotes.
then click find now...when it shows up ...right click on it and choose delete...
Good Luck,
Dave

I wish I could do that, but that dll loads itself with Windows, so when I try to delete it that way, it says this file is being used by windows. :\

If your sure you want to delete it.
C:\>DEL C:\progra~1\go!zilla\goiehlp.dll
I'm not so sure you really want to delete it.
you might just want to rename it.
C:\>REN C:\progra~1\go!zilla\goiehlp.dll goiehlp.old

{aside} Dave how are things going at HP?

Thanks for the help davidgsmith and mrfixer, I really wanted to delete that file because I wanted to get rid of Go!Zilla. I tried to delete the entire folder but it left that dll. After tring to reboot and delete it, still no use. But now it's gone! http://discussions.virtualdr.com/smile.gif
