The file is 4.32MB

It's an MP3 ripped off an album called "Ride with the Underground" and it's track 11.

I've enclosed an attachment of what options are available if you right click the file. Note that "Rename" and "Delete" are missing. Plus, playing the file in winamp doesn't work - says it's not there.

Viewing it's properties via File > Properties brings up the properties screen but nothing is filled in.

I don't reckon it's a virus because i haven't noticed any other strange behaviour or any other files locking up like this.

That sounds like it could work. Thanks johnny, I will give that a go tomorrow :) (it's too late now and I got better stuff to do than fix some file this late at night :P)

p.s. i think you mean F8 rather than F18 - never seen that key before, and by "security mode" you mean "safe mode". :P

I have a file like this also, except it is (or was) a folder.

When I right click it, Nothing pops up and pressing delete or dragging it has no effect at all. =/
