    I just learned how to copy videos to my
    hard drive using a couple of tools. I'm a
    novice feeling my way around in that department
    and I ran into a problem. I don't know how to
    an MPEG-4 file off my hard drive. How do you
    delete them off your machine? The pic below
    represents one of many MPEG-4's I can't delete.
    I think the stubbornness might be related to
    Nero as the files will play only with Nero and
    not with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player. I
    went into Nero's control panel and I didn't see
    an ON/OFF button.

    You can use 'Unlocker' - but perhaps it might be simpler to open Task Manager to see if the some process is running that may be holding control.
    Example: perhaps Nero never exited gracefully and is still running silently and just needs to be ended using Task manager - then you can delete the file as you normally would.

    Unlocker did the trick, attar, thank you :)
