Langola, have you tried ctrl+alt+delete and looking in the processes in the task manager to see if the file is running? If so, just end it and then you can delete it . Also I find alot of the time this happens, if you are feeling nice and lazy, just restart then give it another go. Also if the above doesn't work, just look in the applications and close any programs that might be using it, then try again. What is the file anyway? name and extension would be good.

hope I helped.

sorry, missed the restart part in your original post.


Slade.

You can also try booting into Safe Mode so that Windows doesn't load a lot of the optional stuff that might be locking the file. Are you sure this is a file that you should be deleting?

What file ,were did it come from !
