I'm very anal retentive and insist that my desktop is clear of clutter and unwanted 
junk.  That being said I have three objects on the desktop that seem impossible to 
remove. They seem to have randomly generated names, no extensions, and the properties 
list them simply as "files".  I get the feeling that they may have been generated 
by the AdobeCleanup process that runs with Acrobat 8, but that's just a guess.  In 
order to save some time I'll list what I've tried to do so far:

Simply Delete them - "Cannot delete file. Cannot read from the source file or disk"

Rename them - "Cannot rename file. Cannot read from the source file or disk"

Restart in Safe-mode - Same problems

Killbox - "File Error - File does not seem to exist"

Move them somewhere else on the damn computer so I don't have to look at them - They 
won't move.

I think that's everything I've tried.  I recently reformatted and would really prefer 
not to have to do it again, but I'm obsessive enough that if I can't get rid of them 
I would probably do that.

Any help?  Anyone?

BTW - I'm running XP Pro with SP2 installed. Thanx
