Thomas,

Yes, you could bludgeon the progam, but that would still leave artifacts of it and possible error message popping up on the users system.

You would still need to call an EXE to kill the process in the first place, otherwise you would not be able to delete the file while it is in use. Then your caught in a Cat and Mouse game with the user. Using an complete script or a complete EXE removal completes the task in one fell swoop.

I will see what I can come up with and send you a sample.
