Cant delete file!!

SpitfireIV

Ok, so I have Windows Vista and was transferring files over from my old computer (XP) over to the new one via external hard drive.

I tranferred a few folders containing pictures etc onto the new computer so they could be sorted into various folders, however there is one file, which I must have saved a couple of times that I cant do anything with! It wont delete, wont rename, wont allow me to view its 'properties', freezes up Norton when I try and do a scan of it and crashes Explorer when I try and open it with other programs other than the one intended (and even that program wont open it, when it does it takes about 20mins to open it!)

Its a .ufo file (Ulead PhotoImpact) its only 2.51mb's, I know what the file is, its a picture but WHY cant I get rid of the blasted thing!?

Thanks

Start in safe mode and try to delete it that way ??

Have you tried shelling into dos and doing an attrib on the file ??

edit:
Here's someone who was able to fix it, but it involved uninstalling all Ulead applications:
