Thank you all for your kind advice. Please, let me clear a few things up.
I have already solved my problem.
If you read my post, you will see that it was merely a (hopefully) funny anecdote on how crappy WindowsXP&trade can be. I was eventually able to delete the file and without rebooting! I admit that my characterization of my solution as being "the only remedy" was poor considering how rebooting would probably have fixed the problem but, like most users, I hate having to reboot my machine. It's inconvenient and (in my humble opinion) an insult to computing.
I mean, really. The very program used to delete files held a lock on the file, preventing it from being deleted!
Does no one see the irony in that?
