Cant delete file named ".exe". Note no filename, just extension. WindowsXP
seems to think the file is in use (which it is not). Actually it seems that
Windows thinks Im deleting "." (ie "this" directory). On older (Win98) I
could start in console mode and kill such files. On WinXp this option is not
available, so I have no f*ing way to fix anything but to reformat my disk or
live with it (will do probably the later).
 
I answer my own post. The file survived two reboots and every spell (read
curse) I cast at it. But after the third reboot it was gone. Case closed.
