If you can't kill the rogue process, try shelling out to a CMD prompt and deleting the file there. Type in delete /? to get the switches available. If there's one available for unconditional, use that.
If that doesn't work, boot the machine in safe mode command prompt and try that. If THAT doesn't work, boot from a DOS disk and delete it from there. If that doesn't work perform an exorcism.
ok tried killing rogue processes, tried safe mode start up, explorer is the culprit cause it using 51 % constantly, and it starts using 100 000 k on FD memory. its not a process its a file.
i as going to try to boot disk strat but ill get a friend of mine to do that, i dont want to delete someting important by accident.
