Many a times, it happens that Windows does not allows you to delete, rename or move a file or application, stating that it is already in use. Whatever you try, but all your efforts are in vain. This also happens with malware files, which simply refuse to get deleted.
In such situations, you have to find the Windows Processes with which that particular file or application is associated. But how to do that?
