    File is open in another program


    I share a folder on my network with firetv. I use it to watch movies on a tv.
    If I watch a movie then in fire TV close the app I used to watch it. Then using my new upgraded win10 computer I can't move or delete that movie I watched says File is open in another program
    I didn't have this problem in win7.

    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?
