5. Can be a problem
Sometimes the finger that a program places in a file can be left in place. Here are some things to try.

Try going to a dos command window and deleting it. If that doesn't work try the classic Windows problem resolver: Reboot. If a reboot doesn't resolve the problem try booting in safe mode. If safe mode doesn't do it try finding a program that deletes files on bootup. Check download.com or some such source. These programs will ask what file you want to delete and then they will execute the deletion on the next boot up before any other program has a chance to get it's finger in it.
