I have a file with 8k on my desktop and I cannot get rid of it. Every time I

I tried booting in safe mode, Classic mode and from a start up DVD. No dice.

How do I get rid of it? What is really baffling? I can open the file, I can
save changes to it, I can rename it. I cannot trash it. Ugh!

Any suggestions will be tried.

What is the name of the file?

Try renaming it, restarting then trashing it.


BTW, Classic is OS 9 running as a process in OS X. I believe you meant booting in OS 9.
