Default [Fixed] Desktop Icons

Hi first post here and already I have a problem.

I tried DLing a Game called Trickster and as it turned out (And no this doesnt belong in the games section.) But anyway I canceled the DL and removed it through Firefox....HOWEVER.....the item remained with 0 bytes and sits on my desktop saying its still in use by programs Ive tried closing everything and deleting it but I get that same **** thing. Is there a program I can use on my system to find out just what its being used by?

Welcome to the forum.

Did you try deleting the file in Windows Safe-Mode? Also, try Kill-Box (it's located in our Downloads section).

To get into safe-mode, simply press F8 repeatedly during the "Dos" part of your boot sequence. You will then be presented with a menu from which you can select Windows Safe-Mode.
