    Are you using IIS's version of FTP server? If so, you should be able to log on as another user with administrative priveledges and do the swap. If that doesn't work, let me know. The W2KRK contains a tool that will switch in use files.

    You will have to stop the service, and then take ownership of the file. Then you should be able to delete it.

    Uh, maybe because you don't try to work with the two that have offered help so far.....?
