Method 1:

  * Open a Command Prompt Window and leave it open.
  * Close all open programs.
  * Click Start > Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE
  * Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe.
  * Leave Task Manager open.
  * Go back to the Command Prompt Window and change to the directory the AVI (or other undeletable files) is located in.
  * At the command prompt type: DEL where is the file you wish to delete.
  * Go back to Task Manager, Click on File > New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the GUI shell.
  * Close Task Manager.

Method 2:

  * Open Notepad.exe
  * Click File >Save As…
  * Locate the folder where your undeletable file is
  * Choose ‘All files’ from the file type box
  * Click once on the file you wish to delete so its name appears in the ‘filename’ box
  * Put a ” at the start and end of the filename
  (the filename should have the extension of the undeletable file so it will overwrite it)
  * Click save
  * It should ask you to overwrite the existing file. Choose “yes” and you can delete it as normal.

Method 3:

Here’s a manual way of doing it.

  * Start
  * Run
  * Type: command
  * To move into a directory type: cd c:\*** (The stars stand for your folder)
  * If you cannot access the folder because it has spaces for example Program Files or Kazaa Lite folder, you have to do the following. Instead of typing in the full folder name, only take the first 6 letters, then put a ~ and followed by 1 without spaces. Example: cd c:\progra~1\kazaal~1
  * Once you are in the folder of the non-deletable file, type in ‘dir’ - and a list will come up with everything inside.
  * Now, to delete the file, type in del ***.bmp, txt, jpg, avi, etc. If the file name has spaces you would use the special 1st 6 letters followed by a ~ and a 1 rule. Example: if your file name was bad file.bmp, you would type once in the specific folder through command, del badfil~1.bmp and your file should be gone. Make sure to type in the correct extension.

In recent versions of KDE, there is a new K Menu layout. This is called the “SUSE Menu Style”. The traditional K Menu style is called the “KDE Menu Style”. You can switch between them by right-clicking on the K Menu. There is an option to switch to switch in the small menu that appears.

If you are a fan of the traditional “KDE Menu Style”, this tip may come in handy. It does not appear to work the same in the “SUSE Menu Style” layout of the K Menu.

When I do a fresh openSUSE install, I like to have my machine set up exactly how I like it. I have a small document that I go through to set some KDE tweaks to suite my taste. One of these happens to be the icon size in the KDE Menu. If you would like to adjust this, follow these simple steps:

1. Open your favorite text editor. Edit the file located at ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc
2. Go to the [menus] section of this file.
3. Edit (or add, if it isn’t there) the “MenuEntryHeight=” variable to be the height, in pixels, that you wish the K Menu icons to appear.
4. Save and quit.
5. Restart the KDE Panels with this command: dcop kicker Panel restart
