Moveonboot does a good job - it flags files for deletion on reboot.

Text from link I provided..
"When you encounter one of these stubborn files, right click it, select Unlocker and see what's holding the file hostage." It will tell you what is locking the file.

Reason I need a program like this is because I got this file called "~ROMFN_0000068C" in my temp folder and I can not delete it , Well I used the UnLocker program and it showed Explorer.exe was using it
I deleted it and it comes back a couple minutes later anyone know what it is? Virus scan show nothing no spyware just don't know |

Its a temp file - probably not harmful at all. Windows makes a lot of temp files.
