if u can't delete this file try to boot in safe mode with command promt.

search the file and try to delete with the "del" command (before must search the specifid folder in which this file r stored)

DO NOT START THE EXPLORER!!!!

use program called copylock
it can delete the file before starting windows and it can delete every file.. its very good.. prog is freeware

Like said above, boot up in safe mode and delete it. If it says that it is being used by another program, then it is probably being used by explorer itself. This usually happens when people try to run a file as if it were an executable.

-In Safe Mode-
1. Press ctrl+alt+delete to open task manager.
2. select explorer and do an "end task"
3. Since explorer is closed, you cannot use windows explorer. You have to use command prompt.
4. In the task manager, click [file]->[new task]. Enter "cmd" and run it.
5. Navigate to the file and delete it by "del /f filename".

edit: didn't see how old this was

That´s much to complicated try
1.copylock or
2.moveonboot or
3.Amok Delaydel.

I personally use moveonboot and have made good experiences. If u are an experienced user use one of the above mentioned solutions.
