Donald,

The OS service "microsoft distributed transaction coordinator" is a
likely suspect.
Other usual suspects include backup software agents and any
application servers running on that host.

The site "SysInternals.com" has a wealth of tools for finding things
like processes that own handles on files, such as handle.exe and
procexp.exe.
It is most likely that the file that was locked was "ociw32.dll" 
under the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory.
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml

the above page contains a link to the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q232/8/30.ASP

Please be aware, that the patchset 9.2.0.6 for win32 is not in itself
a solution for Oracle Security Alert #68, as described in the FAQ and
patchset matrix notes on Metalink.
Other one-off patchsets may also need to be applied.

Paul
