>>There're a few programms you can use to check it. The two I used called whohas and fileuse. You can find them on the internet. I like whohas better but for some reason it doesn't work on the fast computers. Unfortunatelly both those programms requred at least operators right to the drive maybe even Admin.

Try this one http://www.geocities.com/wstools/f_ws.html.

I just tested whohas.exe downloaded from there and it works on my computer too!

>>To do that you have to kill connection that has this file open and I think only Admin can do it.

I don't think that just reboot would help. You also have to login under the same user name, I think.
