Ok i have what is supposed to be a film in a folder in my documents im running windows xp pro sp1, i have tried deleting the movie but to no avail all i GET is the ERROR msg this file is being used by another program or person, so i thought in my infinate WISDOM boot into safe mode and delete the file, alas all i got was the same error message, i have tried veiwing the properties but the window just does not appear, i have tried deleting the folder it is in but nothing seems to be WORKING, i had this problem before, but i cannot remember how i resolved it now. Please help, oh and in addition i did disconnect the cable modem whilst trying.

thanks in advanceGoogle for KillBox.exeOk got it thanks, it was a bit stubbourn and the standard file kill wouldnt do it, but the delete on reboot option worked however it moved the file into its own folder at C:\!KillBox again i tried to remove it and the standard file kill did not remove it so once again i done the delete on reboot option, i have since searched for the file and all traces now appear to have gone, so thanks a lot Fed  Thanks for the feedback, we thrive on it.
