Deleting Spider

[jkiser]

I want to delete or uninstall the spider game (I play it too much).

I have found the file in the WINNT/System 32 folder. But when I delete the
file, it reappears. Even if I log on as admin, delete the file and empty the
recycle bin, it reappears.

I'm certain theirs a way to do it but I seem to be at a loss.
