HT1923 when right-clicking C/Program Files (x86) Bonjour, it say the folder or a file in it is open in another program. How do I overcome this?

Question

am trying to uninstall all components of itunes, according to the apple support guidelines, as itunes was not recognising my iphone, although windows was recognising it.  I am going through all the steps accordingly, but there isn't a note about what to do if this happens.  Where else could Bonjour be open so that I can close it?
Thanks!

Handle is a tool that can help you to find out which program has a particular file or directory open. The tool is available here:

I hope this helps.
-a
Dump information about all types of handles, not just those that refer to files. Other types include ports, Registry keys, synchronization primitives, threads, and processes.
-c
Closes the specified handle (interpreted as a hexadecimal number). You must specify the process by its PID.
WARNING: Closing handles can cause application or system instability.
-l
Dump the sizes of pagefile-backed sections.
-y
Don't prompt for close handle confirmation.
-s
Print count of each type of handle open.
-u
Show the owning user name when searching for handles.
-p
Instead of examining all the handles in the system, this parameter narrows Handle's scan to those processes that begin with the name process. Thus:
handle -p exp
would dump the open files for all processes that start with "exp", which would include Explorer.
name
This parameter is present so that you can direct Handle to search for references to an object with a particular name.
For example, if you wanted to know which process (if any) has "c:\windows\system32" open you could type:
handle windows\system
The name match is case-insensitive and the fragment specified can be anywhere in the paths you are interested in.
