Hi, what you could do to remove such files (if you still want this, after the answers you got) :-) is, downloading a programm that removes files on the next reboot. There are plenty of them, just search for file removal on windows, or something like that.

Once the driver was loaded, WE would work. This was with Windows 98 and ME though, and might not work anymore even if one has a floppy drive and a 16 bit audio driver that will work. I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to create a bootable CD that could do a minimal startup that is equivalent to safe mode but with audio drivers installed. I've recently become interested in this topic as I have a file located in my Temp folder in the Windows directory called Perflib_Perfdata_2b0 that I cannot delete. It does not scan as malware in MS Security Essentials or Malwarebytes or any other scanner I've used, but I don't like having something I don't know the function of that I can't delete. I've been hoping to find a way to delete it possibly using safe mode, but I don't have the boot floppy anymore so can't try it out with XP to see if it works. Anyway, I know that one can install drivers manually in safe mode, so if there is a single driver that would work to get audio going in XP, one should be able to do it. I may be wrong with XP, there may not be a single driver solution or you may not be able to manually install drivers, but if anyone knows more about audio drivers in XP than I do, it might be worth a try to see if it works.
