Can't delete folders?

WinXP - SP 1.

I have a series of files that contain PowerPoint presentations. After viewing the presentation in a given folder, I shut down PowerPoint and attempt to delete the folder. I get the message "Cannot delete (filename). It is being used by another person or program. Close that program and try again ".

The folder is closed. PowerPoint is closed. There is nothing showing in my Task Manager. What's up?

Figured it out...I had to also close PowerPoint.exe from the Processes tab. It was still running in the background- even though it didn't show up in the Applications window.

Weird...
