These files are ai files (adobe illustrator). What is the command to delete
them in the command prompt?

You didn't say what kind the files were. I can only assume .avi because
they can cause problems, especially if they are large files.
If they are .avi files in the CD Burning folder, open the folder and wait a
while, go have a cup of coffee or something, then try to delete the files.
Give explorer.exe a chance to read the files.
Avi files have a bug in XP. XP thinks that it has to read through every avi
file every time that you open a folder that contains any. You also get the
locked file in use when trying to delete, rename, move, etc. avi files.
See this on a fix if the files were .avi.

The only down side to the above fix is that when you right click an avi file
and select Properties, the Summary page will be blank or grayed out. Which
I decided was a lesser evil than some of the other problems .avi files
cause.
You can also kill explorer.exe and delete the files using the command
prompt.

This one?
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\
Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning
Copy the path from the Address bar in windows Explorer and past it into a
message.
Are they .avi files by any chance?

This didn't help. They still won't delete. I've rebooted several time
now. Any other ideas of what could be causing the problem?

Wait until after the next reboot. They should delete then.
When you try to delete temporary files, you almost always run into some
that are in use by Windows and won't delete. That's normal and not a
problem. They will delete next time.
