If there is a file you cannot move because it is in use, follow these steps in order until the problem is solved:

1. Check the filetype and make sure any program(s) that are associated with that filetype are not running, including services that run in the background. If it's an executable file, go to Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and make sure it's not running in the background.

2. Boot into safe mode and try moving the file.

3. Download a third-party application that specializes in moving files during the startup process. Gipo's MoveOnBoot is a good option.

Can you recycle steel?

Yes, but there are no large-scale recycling programs in effect for alloys due to the rarity of it being recycled. The most common practice is selling it to a junk yard as scrap metal, but some areas will have a recycling process available, but you would need to bring the materials you wished to recycle to the recycling facilities in your area. A phone call before hand to confirm whether or not they have a program in place for recycling alloys would save you a trip in the event that they did not.

The test that can prove which computer's firewall is blocking a program from running is to turn off the firewall on the computer being used, then try to run the program in question. If the program still doesn't work, then the main computer is blocking the program.

When you try to delete files they are deleted permanently they dont go to the recycle bin?

If you try to send a file to the Recycle Bin and it is being deleted automatically instead, you need to do the following: * Right-click the Recycle Bin * Choose Properties on the menu * A Recycle Bin Properties window will open * Under the Settings for selected location, choose "Custom size" (you can also specify the * maximum size in MBs of the Recycle Bin, 17309 being default). * "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted." Should be UNchecked. * Click "OK" and files should now be sent to the Recycle Bin instead of being deleted immediately. If that does not fix the problem, you may have accidentally deleted the hidden system files $Recycle.Bin or RECYCLER at the root of your system. Those are the actual Recycle Bin folders and without them, the Recycle Bin does not work. The only way to fix that is with a reinstall.
