SOLVED

I've got a video file. It's rather large, and I want to delete it, because when you double-click to play it, windows media player says it can't find the correct codecs, and I have loads of video codecs installed.
But whenever I try to delete it, it says it's in use by another program. I've gone into the task manager and ended as many programs as I safely could, I've rebooted and tried to delete it as soon as the computer is powered on, but it WILL NOT DIE!

Do I have some sort of spyware hiding in the movie file maybe?

Hya Gmtyrant.

There are a couple of possibility's , but it is no spyware probebly. Give this a try first , download , unpack , and double click on it. When asked if you want to add the info to the registry , click yes.

If that doesn't work we'll try some other things.

Gah. I am stupid. The video is linked into a media-organizing program, that monopolizes the files, even when the program isn't running (not even in the system tray). I told the media-organizer to delete the video and give me back control, and it worked.
Sorry about that everybody. If I'd thought about it for a while instead of jumping on here and asking right away, I'd have got it...


But thanks for the quick response Joe! I'm really sorry about this...

No sorry! We are happy to supply any help
