Default Cannot delete mysterious .EXE file

My 2nd attempts it was successful by using: http://www.indezine.com/products/pow...p/ppt2exe.html

Now I want to delete my first attempts files of friends.EXE in separate
folders and no matter how I tried with Windows Delete and Eraser: http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/ it always says cannot delete, access
is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected & that
the file is not currently use.

I've check all of the above and tried many times to delete the mysterious
first file of 11MB BIG. I can Move it around; to another folder, to the
Recycle Bin -- it denied deleting and only to the desktop it is possible
to delete the file BUT the original mysterious file (friends.exe) still remained
in the folder. I can also rename it and even change the extension BUT
still denied deleting. I need your kind helps.

Rino,

Re start (re-boot) your computer and then the file will probably not still
be in use (protected)
