unable to delete files

I try to delete four downloaded files from my desktop. Vista (HP) says
another program or process (depending on whether you use Explorer or DOS
prompt to try to delete them) is using them. The tool Unlocker 1.8.6
reports "Drive Access denied".

Any ideas?

Andreas

Delete the files in Safe Mode.
