Have you ever met the annoying dialog box stating that the file you are trying to delete can’t be deleted – stating that it is in use (even though you KNOW this NOT to be true?).. Sure you have, especially running Vista (strangely enough I seem to see this issue more often on my Vista box than on Win2003/xp) ..
Well anyhow, there are ways to deal with that (not guaranteed, but quite often it works)..

is a small freeware utility that will assist in resolving this, it can quite often delete a file that states its locked.
UPDATE Nov 2009;
Also check https://readmydamnblog.com/?p=1045 for an alternate utility in a 64bit version (Lockhunter)
Virtualization now cross platform
Adobe has taken application virtualization one step further than Softgrid/Thinstall, now you can use the web aware Adobe Air applications on any compatible platform (basically any web-able os).
Its an interesting idea that surely will appeal to many web-service providers.
Another free WinZip replacement (supports many formats incl RAR), have not tested it yet but it looks promising.
