windows file protection

[rh71]

After watching video clips (especially .avi/divx) files, I usually can't delete them right away. I've checked task manager for video players that could still be running but nothing is there that I can see.

What's up with this file protection and how can I just delete what I want and not worry about this ? The command prompt delete only *sometimes* works and I'd rather not have to do that all the time.

Oh yes, I'm running XP Pro.

Your not running any P2P programs and other people are uploading them?

nope... P2P programs don't even share that dir.

i;ve had that problem before, but am sorry to say that i dont have a solution, except open up another clip in that same player or restart your computer
