the action cannot be completed because the folder is open in System

I have a zip file that I cannot delete, I get the message that "The Folder is open in System"

I used Handle.exe to determine what process had it locked and it tells me it's in use by 'NT Kernal & System'

Doesn't sound like that is a process I can just kill? I don't want to re-boot the machine as it's my primary mail server but I'm guessing that might be the only option?

Any ideas?

I think you are correct, guess I will find a service window and re-boot.

Thanks
