I converted an MPEG file to an AVI useing Dr Divx.Now every time i try to delete it it says

Cannot delete spider man 2:It is being used by another person or program.
Close any other programs that might be useing this file and try again.

something is definitely wrong there.

what ou can do is,
1) boot in safe mode, and delete it.
2) open up task manager, then the process tab, manually kill every explorer.exe.
then new task, click browse, got to the folder of the file and delete it. then in new task type in explorer to launch it back. or log off and log in back.

i assume, all the possible task that might use the file is already shut down. explorer is just hogging it. if this doesn't work use the first method.
