Re: resend: kernel32: modify DeleteFile to fail on directories

[Vincent Povirk]

I think you should avoid the GetFileAttributes call. It adds extra
steps (including potentially an extra case-insensitive lookup), and
the file attributes could change between that call and NtDeleteFile.

It seems like it should be possible to do this without forcing ntdll
to search for the file multiple times.
