    The *.icc file is associated with PS process after assigning profile for a picture of CMYK mode ?

      Hi everyone, I have a curious problem for your help 

       

      My OS is Windows 7. Start PS and open an image, choose "Edit" -> "Assign Profile...", in the pop-up dialog there is a drop-down list showing many system profiles, and I find all of these *.icc files are stored in folder "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color". Just choose any profile to assign, then go to folder "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color" and find the related icc file, for example, JapanColor2001Coated.icc is for profile "Japan Color 2001 Coated". Now you can still rename the icc file, that is, the icc file is not taken by photoshop process. Our company has a software to generate icc files, however, when assign these profiles, the icc file is associated with PS process, which means I can't rename or delete the related icc file, even after assigning another profile, unless close the image documents, that is unwanted. So I'd like to know the reason, in fact I'm not very clear about the ICC file structure. I want to make the local disk file not associated with the process so I can do other operations.

       

      Any suggestion will be appreciated.
