Problem with .txt renamed to .exe?

Question

I type the word hello in a notepad but saved it as hello.exe. And when I opened it, an error occurs - NTVDM CPU illegal instruction... unable to delete file. What will I do?

I cannot rename or delete it using the command prompt. I says The process cannot access the file bec. it is being used by another process.

it should be gone

You can't rename a text file to an exe one! Text file only contains text, while exe contains instructions!
