Deleting Files

I cant delete a file and it says its open in another program. but i can seem
to figure out what program is running it. is there anyway to force delete it
or find the program

Hello,

it is possible that the Windows Explorer is using the file.
Have you experience in using cmd.exe? Start it, and then kill the process "explorer.exe" in Task Manager.
In cmd, type
del "FullPathtoFileName"
and hit Enter.

Please report if this works.

Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo

You can use the utility "Process Explorer" which is freely available at the
Microsoft Sysinternals WEB site) to find out which process is holding a file
open...
