This is a little offtopic;
how do i delete file that is in use by unknown program?
when i try to delete it in win95, msgbox says access denied.
if i restart windows then i can delete it.

i have dll from which i call functions from ASP page (with =
Server.CreateObject). So everytime i recompile dll compiler can't =
overwrite old dll (because it's in use by another program).
If i kill personal web server and all programs on windows the file still =
wouldn't delete.
It's very dumb and important problem, cause i would have to restart =
windows every time i wanted to recompile.
Help!?
