I have a Max scene with a referenced mxm. I switched it to an embedded mxm. I made changes to the mxm through the mxed button and saved. I then clicked the referenced button again and saved the mxm to my desktop and called it "temp.mxm". Later I switched it back to embedded, saved the scene, and closed.

Now, when trying to delete the "temp.mxm" file, I get this:


I have checked to make sure mxed, mxst, mxst, max, etc. are not running. I've even restarted my computer. I can't get rid of this damn thing. Any idea why this is stuck? Is there any way to force a delete?

Try deleting it using the "del" command from a command prompt.

Well, I tried your way, Bogdan, but it didn't work. So I wound up using msconfig to do a selective startup, then I was able to delete them. I don't know what was holding them open...

Thanks for the response!
