Hi All,

I installed a couple of fonts on my Exec, and now when I try and delete them it just says "The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file"

What is weird is that if I just copy/paste a font that is already in there, I get exactly the same error message.. i.e. I haven't actively selected the font to be used in an application, so why is it locked ? - peculiarities of WM5.0 I assume.

Anyways, any idea's how to boot these things into "safe mode" to delete such files ? :)

It worked for me when I needed to remove fonts.

Ha, simply moving the font to a different folder, /then/ deleting it worked. :oops:

Cheers Chalky! :D
