    Some how I gotten a corrupt file on my desktop that I can not do anything with. It is 0 bytes in size. If I try to delete it, move it or rename it, I get a message that says,
    "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk." :cry
    I tried to delete it in safe mode and it didn't work either. I run XP SP2.
    Anyone have any ideas for me?
    Thanks

    I found unlocker in another post and it worked. Wow was that simple.
    Thanks for reading this anyway and sorry to bother you.
