What should I do with the following file. Should I delete the file or what?

C:\windows\temp\GLF80.temp
 
Hi

Delete it to the Reycle Bin for a few days. If nothing untoward happens,
delete it from there.

Files stored in c:\windows\temp or c:\documents and settings\username\local
settings\ temp folder are just temporary files. They only time you should not
delete temp files is when you have applications open.

Office applciations for example can store the document you are working on in
the temp folder, so deleting that file while it is in use could cause you to
lose data.

Make sure you have closed all applications and then delete the file.

I didn't think you could delete files that were in use.
XP often tells me that I can't delete something (txt files for instance)
because it's being used when it plainly isn't.
