Finding process owner and killing it

I tried to delete some dlls but they were in use. How can I find the program
that is using the dlls and then kill the program? (Even though I had no
program running (in the task manager) I was still unable to delete the dlls)

Hi

Download Process Explorer from SysInternals (task manager on
steroids) and select "Find Handle..." under Find (or just use
the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F). Fill in the file name.
