Answer 2

Is there an extention on the file?
I suggest you right clk the file and do Properties to try to learn more about the file. Then re-post the question with more info.

Do you have an anti-virus program on your computer? If so, right clk the file and run your anti-virus program on it.
You also may want to run a SpyWare program on your system. Go to; www.download.com and get the free AdAware program.

When you try to delete it if it gives a sharing violation error every time, start windows in safe mode then delete.
