Hi I created a file on my desktop with a jpg extension that I no longer need. When I try to get rid of it either by delete or dragging to recycle bin, I get a message saying that this file is being used by another program etc. Anybody have any idea what I need to do to find out what program is using this file ? Any help would be greatly appreciated - it's getting on my nerves !! TIA FBG40
Try closing all programs that you don't need. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and access the task manager. Use 'end task' to close everything except Explorer and Systray.Then try deleting the file.

Many thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, neither of your solutions worked, but thanks for the link to File Shredder, it looks good. Thanks again
