    Alright, well I downloaded this clip from DragonBall Z and tried to view it... then it wouldn't open. So I figured I would delete it since I wouldn't use it. Then when I tried to delete it, it just wouldn't move. I tried copying and pasting, cutting, but nothing seems to work.

    I got it off of Limewire, which I know pretty much means I have a virus. I tried to do a virus scan so that hopefully the program would delete it, but nothing. Plz help.

    either WMP is running on the system still, or your still have limewire open and sharing it which won't let you delete it. reboot or log off and on then try to delete it without doubleclicking on it.

    Thanks you very much ddp. I tried the unlocker and I just told it to delete the folder MY DOCUMENTS and it got rid of it. I had saved the files before that and simply pasted the folder back through my account.

    Thanks djscoop for the effort. Much appreciated.
