Use cmd.exe. Go run, type cmd and Enter, and then navigate to the folder using chdir, and then type del this sucker. Do it in safe mode.. not to be any safer but cos no processes would be using it there - no handles to it. Or go get Unlocker.
What does the drwatson log show? \windows\drwatson\drwtsn32.log - drag it into a blank notepad.
