I downloaded a 168Mb file of what I thought was a porn film, but I should have looked at the extentsion, and instead of a Windows Media Player file it was an application, an MSDOS type thing. Anyway I double cliced (more retardedness) on it and it formed a window, then disappeared. Then I trie to delete it, but it was having none of it and said it could not be deleted since it was either write protected or may be in use. Now, it isn't write protected, and I did Ctrl, Alt, Del and checked out every process, and none of them was it, they were all kosher. Basically I just want to delete it, if you can help then many thanks.
