Hello,

I want to delete AIM.exe (AOL instand messenger) from Windows folder and I can't do that (Delete option is grayed out). What am I doing wrong?

It's in ROM, so it doesn't take up any memory space. No point in deleting it, and since it is ROM, you can't delete it.

Well, standard Explorer does not allow to delete them but Commander allows, I guess becouse they are marked as "read-only". I don't see how they can be in ROM if they are physically on my hard drive in unit.
Also I generally don't understand what AIM is doing in Pocket PC, my understanding that AIM is competitor to MSN Messenger and Microsoft is not supposed to be putting competitors products.

what unit are you talking about that it has a harddrive?

I meant not hard drive but whatever media is used internally on XDA to store files.

Yes, it's in the internal media known as ROM.
