Hi. A program I installed and has since removed from my system created a
folder that XP
refuses to delete saying the folder is being used by someone else or by
another program.
I could reboot and I'm sure I will be able to delete this folder but I
really want to know
who the culprit is. Is there any way top find out what program might be
using this folder????
This folder's properties indicate it is not a system or hidden folder.

Any help will be appreciated, I'm very curious.

Thanks,
James

I rebooted and the folder's gone. I didn't realize I had to build a bridge.
