im trying to delete a .dll file from my ipaq windows directory. i went to activesync..hit explore..went to the windows folder and selected the .dll file i wanted to delete (so that i can replace it with a newer version)
and i get ACCESS DENIED message not allowing me to delete the file along with the following message:
MAKE SURE YOUR MOBILE DEVICE HAS SUFFICIENT MEMORY, THAT THE FILE IS NOT SET AS READ-ONLY AND THAT YOU HAVER PERMISSION TO COPY THIS FILE
im sure there is a simple solution to this..probably changing the properties of the file/windows folder so its not read only..but i dont know how to do that...i appreciate your help ahead of time and ill be prompt with rewarding points!

If you want to get into the real nitty gritty of your CE device you could try eMbedded Visual Tools which MS supply free. Around 340Mb. It is a development environment for applications and has many useful Tools to remotely configure a PPC2002 device (Win CE 3.0)
NVMS
p.s. You will probably also need PPC2002 SDK which you can also get from MS. A search on these terms should find the links OK

the reason you can not delete your dll is because it is in use, some application is using it. The only way you can get rid of it is, you can hard reset the unit. ( note: you may lose other files and your settings). I dont think CE has task manager like in Win32, that you can kill the process)
