File on Desktop
This is a discussion about File on Desktop in the Windows Software category; I was downloading 3dmark03 and cancelled the download in FireFox, because i found one with higher download speed. Now i have a partially downloaded file on my desktop and when i try to delete it, it says it is in use by another program.

Can anyone give me an idea? I like my desktop nice and orderly and it is bothering me
