Deleting Locked Files & Folders

Question

I am writing an application that updates some drivers. However the drivers are "in use" and can't be deleted unless I restart my computer.

So how can I write an application to delete these locked drivers without restarting the PC. IF Restarting MUST occur then how can I relaunch my application automatically when the computer restarts and delete those files?

For Windows, you can "schedule" moving/deleting files around on a reboot by pinvoking the MoveFileEx API (Or the registry as described).
