There is a file without any permissions for sharing (reading/writing) for other processes. How can I read the file anyway? I need to copy the file but can not open it because it is being used by another process.

Just Restart your PC or run chkdsk in dos the MsgBox being used by another process will dissapear.

I might be wrong as I am a Noob
That's a nice idea, but not working in this case ... It's a temporary file created by firefox and when i close it, tmp-file will be deleted. So what's now?Quote:

I've got only one OS. I guess Dual Boot is when you can choose which OS to start? When it's so, how could it help me in this situation? As soon as I restart my PC (even earlier) the temporary file would be deleted. Or is Dual Boot something different?Quote:

enter using different OS and see that File Press delete it will get deleted
cause that file were not affecting that OS you have just entered.
I've 2 GB full of files in my /media/Software although its FAT and Files Kpt there is By Windows on windows
I cant even do anything with those files from windows
whwn I've entered there with linux I can easily Copy them To another Drive or Pen dirve then Regain it. or delete it

Enter in safe mode
End all unnecessary Process
Ewnd All processes from Firefox
then Use/delete it.
The problem is not deleting file, because it is deleted automatically after the program that created it exits...Quote:

There are file managers able to copy files opened for writing...Quote:

I'm using Far (by default this feature is disabled, but there is a corresponding checkbox in the configuration). I suppose there are others... I think it can solve the problem.
PS. If the qustion is about programming - you should specify it. Becuase as is - it should be on the Tech board, not here
