How can i delete files that are in use?

[A]

I came across a file that was in use (i was trying to delete the file using a application i made) but the file couldn't be deleted. Is their a way around this. Or is their a way that i can find what program is using this. I would rather that any help did NOT envolve an application, but would be very greatful for examples or code that might help me. Thanks for any help!

I wrote an article on this. You wouldn't have to implement the article you could just run the openfiles command. Here is the link: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/OpenFiles.asp[^] Hope that helps. Ben
