Okay, to repeat.
Often when I have finished re-tagging/nameing a directory full of .mp3 files (accompanied by images and text files) I would find that, on trying to move it to it's proper place in my baroque (appearance, not musical style -- though that is there too) directory structure I get a message that some other program was holding on to the file. Then I wouldn't be able to finish the move and clean up my working directory until I re-booted the machine.
One of the programs I use is the old free-ware text editor, EditPad. It turns out that in some cases (and I haven't figured out the conditions, and there is no longer any support) when you close EditPad it DOESN'T close. I vanishes from the tool bar and from the desk top, but if you look in the task manager it is still sitting there -- and holding on to the file it was last used to edit.
So, now when I get the "can't delete" message CTL-ALT-DEL and look for EditPad -- as a process, not a application -- and "end" it.
