Maybe a matter of habit ;-) Bear with me, I still consider my self as a newbie. a$=input$(1) is probably better.

Why the need for SLEEP in there?
1.) You excluded your QB64 folder from virus scanning
2.) Guess your Recycle Bin is NOT excluded
So what do you think is happening here:
As soon as your deleted exe is moved to Recycle Bin it becomes "visible" for the virus scanner. It also explains why the names are different, as windows maintains the files in the Recycle Bin with internal names (probably symbolic links).
3.) Does the same happen, if you hard delete (bypassing Recycle Bin) using SHIFT-DELETE ??
I'd recommend DO: SLEEP: LOOP, but I'd never hear the END of it.
