I want to delete a file but it cannot be deleted because is used by another program. how can I find the program which is using this file? I've seen task manager but there is nothing there to find out it!

I'm using windows 7.

You can try to use lockhunter (http://lockhunter.com/) or
unlocker (http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/).
Both programs can show which process is accessing the file you want to delete.

EDIT:
Even if the tools are self-explaining, here is what you need to do:
Just install one of these tools. When trying to delete a file which is in use, the tool will popup a window with Locking-Informations. Or right-click on the file (you want to delete) and choose (from context-menu) unlock.
