Deleting Files and Folders

B

Hi

Some thing odd is happening lately, in Windows Explorer, I try to delete a
file and also holding down the shift key so that the file is deleted and not
put in the recycle bin. I get an error that the file is in use. If I try to
delete the same file but don't have the shift key pressed the file can be
deleted.

The files that I am trying to delete are text and document files, this has
never happened before. Any ideas?

Windows XP Pro SP2
