I downloaded a video and when I try to delete the file I receive a message that says it can't be deleted because it's being used by another program. I can't determine what program is using the file, nor can I delete the file. Any tips on how to get rid of it? Thanks.
 
Sounds like you downloaded a virus...check in your startup programs to see if there is a suspicious file you can uncheck. You may also notice a process in task manager that you can end, then delete. I would scan the file and download all updates to your anti-virus software, assuming you have that.
