Can't delete temp files

I have the following files in my temp folder.
~DF7C08.tmp
~DF372C.tmp
~DF7445.tmp

I can't delete these for love nor money. They keep coming up telling me that
they are in use by another program and that I should shut down the program
and try again.
I've checked everything I can think of to isolate these 3 files with no
luck. I have no idea what program they are associated with or even if
something in the start menu is creating them each time I boot the system.
Can someone shed some light on this and perhaps tell me what these 3 files
are and how to delete them?
Thanks much
Dudley
