On WinXP Kill doesn't work on files over 200Kb!?

I just got a new computer with Win XP at work and now my KILL statement which I used successfully on all file sizes before now fails miserably on any files that are larger than about 200Kb.

I receive the message, "Run-time Error '70' Permission Denied." I know that files are not read only or something else. In fact, I can go into the files I want to kill, delete enough data to make them less than 200Kb and then they die like they should. Is this some Windows XP security feature? Thanks for any help.
