I have recently downloaded some photos from my digital camera to a file, when I attempted to delete some I found that the photos keep on copying the more I delete the more the photos keep copying. I have copied the photos to another folder an that folder appears ok. I have attempted to delete the folder but I an error message tells me that I cannot delete it because it is being used my another person or program. I havent had any problems in the past

Thank

The only thing that I could suggest doing would be
restarting your computer, deleting that folder... and
reuploading the pictures from your camera. Restarting
your computer will close all programs in relationship to
that folder, then delete the folder before opening up any
other apps. If that fails to work... I dunno what to tell
ya =)

Pictures - Everytime I try to delete them, they just duplicate again.

This probably was due to the way you use the Ctrl key and your mouse when
you selected the files to delete.
Click on the first file, remove your finger from the mouse. Hold the Ctrl
key down, click on the second file. Remove your finger from your mouse,
click the third file. Etc. If you keep your finger on your mouse and you
drag the file you just clicked on while holding the Ctrl key down, XP starts
making copies of the file.
