How do you find out what program is using a certain file in XP?

I get a error everytime I try to delete this certain .asf file.

Thanks

I guess the pathway for the file does not give you any indication eh? asf is
advanced streaming audio, i think. did you try booting in safe mode and
deleting it.

Was there some reason why you posted this question so many user groups?
