This issue has been lessened somewhat by User Account Control, thankfully, but it still happens. You might also see unfriendly and unhelpful messages like 'Access is denied', or talk of sharing violations.

Windows sensibly locks down certain files that are in use if you try to delete a program that's currently running, for example, it'll instead pop up an error message moaning about the file being in use. If you run into this problem, Unlocker can help restore access 4. If a file is in use, Windows will lock it down so you can't delete it.
