Uninstalling VLC won't help. This is a common, VERY common bug in Windows. It has something to do with the OS still thinking that your file is being edited. So its not VLC's fault. What I ended up doing was restarting windows. Then I ditched windows itself.
But I doubt you can do that
so stick with restarting.

On Linux, blindly use VLC, SMPlayer, Kaffeine, GXine, Totem and MPlayer
