How do I delete a file called ntuser.dat thats in my Owners folder. When I try to delete it, its says that it wont delete because it's being used by another person or program and its not in the task manager or the registry files. Please help me.

Why would you want to remove it? If you do you may not be able to log on anymore.

Don't delete stuff like that! In fact, you should Right Click on the Start button/select explore/Tools/Folder Options... Select the View tab and check the following options...
Do not show hidden files and folders
Hide Protected operating system files(recommended)
That way you'll be less likely to accidently mess up your system.
