DelinvFile - Frequently Asked Questions
Why was DelinvFile converted from FreeWare to a Commercial product?
Some users were needing additional functionality. A great deal of
time and effort has been spent in implementing the new functions.
Conversion to a Commercial product is simply to have DelinvFile pay its own way.
The Commercial version of DelinvFile implemented additional
functions.
The additional functions include "Open With..", Renaming Files,
Renaming Folders, and Deleting Files and Folders at Boot.
Why does a file still exist after using the "Delete File at
Boot" function?
It is likely due to the File being recreated
after the "reboot" of your system. This is a
characteristic of many of the current Viruses, Trojans and Spyware
programs. That is, they re-infect the system via an automatically
executed program during the "boot" process.
It is possible that the File is recreated by a
legitimate program.
Please scan your system for Viruses, Trojans and
Spyware programs. You may find it useful to check your system's
Startup programs. For XP, you can use MSCONFIG.EXE which Microsoft
provides with XP.
Microsoft did not distribute
MSCONFIG.EXE with Win2000 or for Win-NT.
Fortunately, there are some ShareWare / FreeWare programs that can be
used for any of the modern Windows systems (Win-95 up).
The one I like is 'Startup.exe' from Mike Lin, a student at MIT.
You can download it as 'Startup Control Panel' from https://www.mlin.net.

I have seen "Startup Cop" listed with the PC Magazine
utilities. I have not used it. It was developed by Neil
Rubenking who does excellent work. You may prefer to try it rather
than 'Startup.exe'.
