Hey Thanks, Thats a cool little program, but even after
closing the process with that program (the files we cannot
move/delete all show up in there)we still cannot move or
delete them! All of the files are opened by PID 8, which
is the system. I cannot kill that process without
killing our server... Any other suggesstions?
