I have a file that I stopped downloading when it was only
partially downloaded. I am trying to delete it, but I get
a "Cannot delete filename, It is being used by another
person or program" message. It is not being used by
another person or program. I just want to delete an
incomplete download. How can I get past this error
message?
Thanks
Chris
 
If it's an AVI file try this...

Goto Start>>Run>>Type "regedit" goto

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850D
C73E}\InProcServer32] - Delete this key

This will prevent Explorer from loading shmedia.dll in
response to file property queries on these files.

If it's not an AVI have you tried restarting your computer and then trying
to delete it?
