    Hi all. Im going to try my best in explaining on what i need. I have a program that downloads an update to the package. I havnt gotten so good that i can update the file with out stopping or closing it but this is the only solution i could come up with. In order for the new program to work the old one has to download it. Then open it. I used ShellExecute() to open the new program. Thats not the problem though. Well now that i have the new program in the install folder, i need to kick the old one. So what im trying to do is get it to delete any files that opened it. I'll make a brief description. old-file.exe opens new-file.exe new-file.exe starts up and deletes old-file.exe I cant make it any simple than that. I thought by using argv that would be a start in figuring it out but i dont know how. Any suggestions? Thanx in advance!
