CTRL-ALT-DEL ? ;)
But seriously, NT will not let you delete the file if it is open.

Subject: Re:RE: dropped datafile problem
While the damage here has already been done, it should be a point of
caution for
us all. I make a point of dropping the tablespace in Oracle first
followed by
judicious use of the 'fuser' command in HP-UX to see that all processes
have
released the file. Now you know it's deletable. BTW: anyone know of an
equivalent to fuser for NT/2000??

Andrey,
I agree with Rachel. You need to fix this problem immediately. You are
one
step short of a complete disaster-recovery scenario.
Your choices are:
Restore the database prior to when you deleted the data file and issued
the
"drop datafile" command.
or
Export, drop the tablespace, and import the data to a new tablespace
or
Create a new tablespace, and issue "alter table {tablename} move
{newtablespace}" and "alter index {indexname} rebuild" for all tables in
the
old tablespace. When complete, drop the old tablespace.
I would schedule option #3 - by far, the easiest option (if you are
running
under 8.1.6 and above).
You need to do one of the above ASAP! You have a tablespace that is in a
bad situation, and there is no other option (unless Oracle support can
perform some magic for you).
Hope this helps.

you HAVE to drop the tablespace. You do not have a consistent database,
and your database is a disaster recovery scenario waiting to happen.
The question is, why did you drop the datafile without researching the
ramifications?
