Developers Jos Posted May 18, 2008 Developers Share Posted May 18, 2008 for an example if you can specific the target program $Dir="C:\notepad.exe" if WinWaitActive("untitle - notepad") then FileDelete($Dir) endifmmm.. right ... this does not make sense. @OP: You mean if you can delete a directory when its in-use by a program ? You cannot as far as I know unless you kill all tasks using it first.
