maybe the computer runs it at the computer start point, he may want to ctrl alt delete and see on what programs are running, and if its there end task it and than try deleting it if possible.

go into safe mode with networking, and then see if u can then delete the file. Also do spyware and virus cheks to see if there either of those present as those might also be causing you problems.

Don't worry about the questions that is why we are here :)

When your Bios screen comes up after rebooting press (or hold) f5 or f8, you need to press it b4 the Windows loading screen comes up.
