Have one on my desktop and although I completed the download and ended up with a .zip file, the .part.zip one remains. Switching the PC off changed nothing. When I try to delete it says the file is being used by another programme so it cannot be deleted. Anybody knows?

what were you using to download it? open task manager and see if something related to that is running and kill it if so

Else use [url= http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx ]ProcessMon [/url]to search for the filename in the handles section and find out for sure which process is holding it open

You could try deleting in safe mode or killbox would do the job.

Its handy bit of kit.
