Can't delete I8600A13.exe
Not certain where to ask this question, but I'll try it here. I recently downloaded the latest Inspiron 8600 bios flash utility (I8600A13.exe). I ran the program, which updated the bios to A13 after rebooting without a hitch. However, the executable I8600A13.exe is on my desktop and cannot be deleted. It states that the file is in use by another program or user. I have tried deleting from the Desktop folder in Documents and Settings, tried starting in Safe Mode under my username as well as the Administrator and it says the same thing every time. Is the executable required after the bios has been updated? If not, how can I get rid of this thing.
Thanks in Advance,
Aaron

I have experienced the same problem numerous times. The only solution I found (which won't help after the fact) is to ghost the drive before the upgrade, then restore after. This may seen like a lot of work to get rid of a single file but it's the only solution I've found. Hopefully the BIOS engineers will pay more attention to these little details in the future.
