I have a file on my XP PRO SP2 desktop that I cannot delete. The icon for the file has a washed-out look. When I try to delete the file I receive this message: "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk". The filename is: run[1].just.3.Ultra.Edition.3.3.6.0..Working.Fe. Any ideas on how to delete it? Thanks.... > I have a file on my XP PRO SP2 desktop that I cannot delete. The icon for > the file has a washed-out look.
