Someone just recently had this problem. its under Evil file wont let me delete thread. But i have the problem with a Jpeg picture on my desktop. can someone please tell me how to edit the registry to delete it? i tried killbox, moveonboot and all kinds of stuff. it didnt work and it said things such as Invalid file name. Its really long and i cant type it here, since it has swear and pornographic words in it. Please help me! its rather urgent.

    If you have a windows XP/2000 disc, boot to the Windows Recovery Console. To do so:
    # Insert the Windows XP cd in your computer.

    # Restart your computer so you are booting off of the CD.

    # When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press the R button on your keyboard to start the Recovery Console.

    # The Recovery Console will start and ask you which Windows installation you would like to log on to. If you have multiple Windows installations, it will list each one, and you would enter the number associated with the installation you would like to work on and press enter. If you have just one Windows installation, type 1 and press enter.

    # It will then prompt you for the Administrator's password. If there is no password, simply press enter. Otherwise type in the password and then press enter. If you do not know your password then see this.

    # If you entered the correct password you will now be presented with a C:\Windows> prompt and you can start using the Recovery Console.

    Then type this...
    C:\WINDOWS>cd..
    C:\>cd documents and settings
    C:\>CD YOURWINDOWSLOGINNAMEGOESHERE
    C:\>CD desktop
    C:\>DEL THENAMEOFYOURFILEHERE

    Hit enter after every line. Once that's done, reboot.

    Try going here and see if MoveOnBoot will do the trick.

    You may also want to browse through our SVT Forum and pick up a few pointers on safe surfing so you don't get yourself in this fix again. ;)
