How do I eliminate this file???

I have a very strange file located in:

c:/documents and setting/myname/local
setting/temp/



The file is: Perflib_Perfdata_6f8.dat



I can't seem to delete it. It says it is in use by another person or
program.



I tried to delete it via a DOS command but that won't work (same error).



I tried to do a Safe Boot, but then the program is not there!

Apparently, something during the regular boot must create and put the
program/file there.



I used AdAware and got rid of anything it came up with, but that file is
still there.



Any ideas?

Oh, I tried the freeware MoveOnBoot. It didn't work.

I did a google search and it appears to be a problem, but I couldn't find a
good solution as I'm a tad unsure on how to do a logon script for this one.
