Undeletable files

[Thorbjorn Sundboe]

I have some multimediafiles (.avi, .mpeg) that I am not able to delete -
when I try, XP tells me
they are being used by another program. As far as I can see they are not - I
try after a boot, and I am still not able to do it. Any suggestions?

Cheers, Thorbjorn

Choose "D" for "Delete" and you'll find the fix.

I've aso found that the delete function within several (maybe all?) ftp
programs will let you remove these files in similar circumstances.
