Hi Lola,

Delete it from the XP CD Recovery console.

Or boot from a Windows 98 boot disk and delete it from there.

Good luck

Brett,

Try this:
Open a command prompt (Start Run cmd) and browse to the desktop:
Documents and settings\Username\desktop ( typing cd (Change
directory))
Open task manager (Ctrl + Alt +Del) and kill explorer.exe from there

In the command prompt, type : del source_hdr02

In Task manager, open a new task -- explorer.exe

Good luck

I just can't figure out what to do from the comand propt. I tried every
combination of things I could think of. I can't seem to navigate to the
desktop using the comand prompt.

Brett,

use cd and cd.. (two dots) Example
cd.. (gets you to the folder above the one you're in)
cd\ (Gets you to the root folder, generally C)
cd windows (gets you to the windows folder)

..

cd\
cd "Documents and settings" (With quotation marks)
cd "Username"
cd "desktop"
del name_of_file.extension

Hope this helps

hehe yes. What a pain in the rear that thing was. How does something like
that happen? It was just a corrupt tiny little download (gotta love 3
adjectives). You would think a administrator would be able to delete
anything or there would be a window that said "this file is being used by
another program. Are you sure you want to delete it?" Makes too much sense
I guess. Thanks again for your kick butt help. I learned some vauluable
comand line stuff today. :)
