Files ready to be written to CD - can not delete - say sin use?? H

[Guest]

I have a file in the Files Ready to be Written to the CD and when I burn a CD
this one file will not go away. When I try to manually delete it I get an
error stating it is in use buy another program. I have closed everything -
rebooted, it is still thre and still says it is in use. Every CD I burn adds
the file to the CD, dletes every other file in the write CD window and gives
same in use error for this one file. I can not delete the original file
either.

PLEASE help?!?!

To work around this problem, follow these steps to manually delete the files
from the temporary storage area:

1. Double-click My Computer, and then double-click the CD recorder drive.

Windows displays a temporary storage area where files are held before they are copied to the CD.
Files or folders located in the temporary storage area are listed under Files Ready to Be Written to the CD.

2. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Delete temporary files.

Note: When you delete the contents of the temporary storage area, you make this area available
for another set of files and folders that you want to copy to the CD. The files are not deleted from
their original location on your computer or from the CD.

Thank you both - I tried that (manually deleting) I followed the path to
where it is
C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD
Burning
and tried to delete it from there as well as the original file in my
documents - they all say "the file is in use by another person or program.
Close any programs that may be using the file and try again" in an error pop
up box.
I have rebooted, closed every program, all to no avail - the program thinks
it is in use by something and I can not find anything that is using it. It
is an adobe illustrator file.

THANKS!!!
