How can I delete files when I get the error message:
Cannot delete _______: It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
But no programs are running. What's the prob?

I guess it's a AVI file right?
Re-boot in safe-mode and delete the file, or use google and search for XP-AVI-FIX.ini or AVIFIX.ini and install the file.

No, it's not an avi. I 'cut' portions of several pictures from 'paint' and 'pasted' them to my desktop. When you do so, they are automatically titled 'scrap'. Those are the files I want to delete.
