I have been trying to delete a file but I keep getting the
message say "Cannot delete xyz. It is being used by
another person or program".

I am sure no other program except Widows explorer is
running. As far as i know I am the only user and have set
myself as administrator with password protection.

Very frustrated :-(

TIA

right click object, uncheck read only/hidden,
start from child within xyz working towards xyz, (may work
directly on xyz appllying to subs. Good luck
 
Thanks - However there is one stubborn file in the
directory that won't go! I opened it in photoshop (it's
a .psd) and tried to save over it but it gave a "file in
use" or "file may have been left open" message.

I'm new to XP and may have deleted an account that I "may"
have been used to modify this file.
