so I was able to glitch the windows file protection programs into allowing me to rename the .exe before the computer was completely booted up, and then i was able to remove it from my computer, well it worked and I am safe once again...

How to do this:

I thought it only worked with 9x windows but appearantly it does with all windows.
-1st go to regedit and seach for the file you are trying to remove in this case it was on my desktop.
-then remove the reg key that sayd that file exists.
-then restart and before all you programs boot up rename the file to an .ini
-the you can delete it at will.

I first found this trick on windows 98 when I was trying to trick the system into allowing me to remove annoying nag screens that windows can sometimes have, but the OS would not lemme delete them, so I thought delete it from the registry then delete I was unable to do that, but I was able to change the extension and then remove it. Allowing me to crash windows...hehe but I learned a trick, although was unaware of ever needing this with XP but obviously B.G. is an amazingly absent minded master of programming, he did not think of this, or someone ****ed up!

I will once again reinstate that I hate Windows, and the only reason I use windows is for the ease of compatiblity, with hardware and use of [programs that everyone else uses, like aim, since Wine does not work the way i like it...plus you can totally crack windows and piss people off...hehe anyway...peace
