yeah, too bad windows is not as smart as linux in this regard.
on linux, each file has a reference count (link count) of the number of
processes that have the file opened (plus 1 for the file system), so when
you delete a file, you just "unlink" it, i.e. remove the link from the
file-system itself, so the file will still exist until the application
terminates, at which time the link count becomes 0 and the file is deleted
(if no other process have opened that file). smart :)

Hi,
Common problem:
I want to make an executable that when run will delete itself.
The tricky part here is that you can't delete yourself because the file
will be in use!
On Windows you can use RunOnce registry key, so it gets deleted after
reboot.
What are ways to do this on PPC? How can executions be scheduled?
