Boot Deleter & KillBox -- remove locked Windows files on restart
While it's not something you have to do often, removing files that are locked by Windows can be a pain.
To make things easier on yourself, grab
Boot Deleter, a tiny application that you can integrate into Windows'
right-click context menu.
Locate the problem file on your drive, click it, and choose delete on reboot. When your system restarts, Boot Deleter will remove them automatically before Windows starts up. It's a handy utility to clean up files left over from a malware cleanup.
Boot Deleter is freeware for Windows only, and requires the VB runtimes.
If you're in need of a portable alternative, try
KillBox. No shell integration here, just select the files you want gone. You've got three ways to get the job done: browse for a file, select it from a list of active processes, or compile a list in a text file.
KillBox can also try to remove the files in Windows by terminating Explorer first, and it can create replacement dummy files to help thwart pesky malware. It's fully portable freeware for Windows only.
