http://www.technibble.com/repair-tool-of-the-week-z-cron/Z-Cron is a freeware (for personal use) and powerful task scheduler. Although Windows does come with a task scheduler but you would hardly call it user friendly and it isn’t nearly as powerful as Z-Cron. Z-Cron has a large list of tasks that you can schedule, but here are some of the highlights: * Copy, Move & Delete Files - Useful for backup devices * Kill - Closes a file * Download - Downloads a file via HTTP * Mail - Send an email with SMTP * Ping - Pings an IP address to test for connectivity * Reboot - Reboots the computer * Remote Shutdown - Remotely shut down a computer * Wake on LAN - Remotely power up a computer * Connect/Disconnect - Connects or disconnects a dialup connection * Watch - Monitors a program. If the program “dies”, it will be restarted * And more, here is the complete list An example of what you could do with Z-Cron is to get it to start a backup on a remote computer and have it email you when it finishes; or, if you were in a job that managed many computers on a network, you could set a master computer to turn on all the computers in the building in the morning and shut them down at night. There are many possibilities.

Can I use the Kill or Delete function on this to get rid of a file that cannot be removed off of my computer? I have tried to get rid of a file, but nothing has worked, and I wonder if this can kill the file for me?

Ok this is weird.... now i look at it, it has a hand over the icon where it shows what type of file it is...... does that mean its being shared or something?
