Noob Question about removing progam files.

[Marcello7x]

I just got my first PDA Wednesday, HTC 8525. But this question would be more directed to anyone using Windows Mobile 5. I installed a program thats called "slide to unlock" cool little program, but i tried to erase it but everything erased but one file called Ilock.

Well when i try to erase it it give a message saying:

"Cannot delete ilock: there has been a sharing file violation

The source or destination may be in use"

Thanks in advance to whoever helps.

by the way i did a quick search and didn't find anything. So please no, "use the search button" comments.





Found the problem, it was linked to the program iphone...thank anyways

i understand how it is to be new to this so here you go-

you must always completely terminate a program for it to be completely uninstalled. this can be done in a variety of ways: first is to terminate the program through its own exit command within the program. second, if the program does not have an exit command you can manually terminate the program using 3rd party apps like memmaid and sktools. third would be to check the \windows\startup directory if the program is started upon device startup or soft reset. if the program contains a shortcut or an exe file in the windows startup folder, then manually delete this then do a soft reset.

after all these you should be able to already completely uninstall the app. in the case of iLock, it is said in the program's readme text that tapping on the iLock.exe file once runs the program then tapping it a second time closes the iLock app and shows a windows saying so.
