OK- SOLVED

New machine, I am the only user(admin rights).  never had this happen before

Was going to write a power shell script to investigate  but thought I would poke around a bit first. Opened a command prompt.

Cacls reported everyone had read access but all others ( myself, system, etc) had full access.   Granted full access to everyone, deleted the file ( as myself-admin) but it still sat on the desktop.

Rebooted the system ( magic pill in windows it seems) and the file was gone after the restart.  Strange.

Just wanted to thank Mike and others for the pointers and help.  Now- off to print some photos!

Program runs just fine, just as the demo did.  It just won't allow me to remove the installer once finished.

Downloading to the downloads or any other folder cleans the desktop but tdtill akes up unneeded storage.  This is not only a photo editing/printing machine but my video editing station so I want to try and keep it as clean as I can.

Had same problem with demo.  Only way to delete installer was to uninstall software, reboot, then delete.

 Now have purchased QI and have same problem.  Message says qimage currently in use so can't delete or move.  It isn't in use, nothing shows in sys logs, and event viewer doesn't show anything running.  Have even rebooted to be sure still get this message.

New laptop, I7, 16GB, 750gb space and I am an administrator.  Permissions on file are allow everyone R/W access.

How do I delete this file from my desktop ( stored there at download)?   This is only software doing this to me.  Frustrating.  Just want a clean computer space.
