How do I delete an "undeletable" file?

1. Open the Command Prompt window and leave it open.
2. Close all open programs.
3. Click Start, Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE
4. Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe.
5. Leave Task Manager open.
6. Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the folder where the
undeletable file is in.
7. At the command prompt type DEL <filename> (filename is the file you want to
delete).
8. Go back to Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to
restart the GUI shell.
9. Close Task Manager.
 
"Contrary to the continual claims at Transponder web sites there has
never been an option to remove the software in the standard "Add/Remove
Programs" Control Panel item. Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware 6 should be able
to remove most variants of Transponder. "
