Cannot delete icon from desktop

Hi,

While away at work and the kids on holiday they managed to download dinerdash2Setup-dm(2).exe to the desktop.

I have tried to delete this icon but to no end.

when i try to delete it i get "cannot delete dinerdash2setup-dm: it is being used by another person or program"

As we have only one log-in name i cant see where the above statement is correct?

i have tried the following:

starting safe mode.
uninstalling the program
clearing it away from my firewall
deleteing it via dos
downloading killbox
renaming it
changing the permissions

nothing wil get rid of the file.


can anyone help

Cheers

Nemesis

System specs
Download and install BcWipe, pretty sure that will delete it. Just right click on it and choose delete with wiping.
