Under Win XP pro any attempt to move, delete or rename two particular files
with no extensions, sizes 0 bytes and 9.97 MB on my desk top give the
following:

Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.

I have checked with process explorer and nothing has them open.

This problem was posted before but disappeared from the board before it was
resolved.

Help appreciated, John.
