Fascinating. I now have the same problem on this machine as well! However, I think I have isolated what I'm doing to create the problem.

1. I am using postedfile.saveas() method to save a file into my windows/temp directory.
2. I issue an fopen() command to get a filestream.
3. I stop the program debugging somewhere after this method without issuing an fclose().
4. Even if I close VS.NET, the file remains locked until I reboot the computer. However, I discovered if I ended the aspnet_wp.exe process, the file would be released.

Herein lies the problem, I believe.

I am able to then delete the file and retest my project. However it appears that the wierd behavior happens after this, to which I have been unable to recover. I now have two machines that behave the same way with the original symptoms.

I believe this may be a program bug insofar as it's unable to recover from my inappropriate behavior! Either way, I believe this is the actual problem I'm having.

Has anyone even remotely run into this or have a clue now how to recover short of removing the whole .NET framework and VS from my machine and starting over?
