splat Problem deleting a file!!!

Ok, I was downloading the new winamp pro upgrade, and I decided to cancel the download. Well when I did, windows didn't delete the file, it kept it on the desktop. It's a 0-byte file. Everytime I try to trash it, it tells me the file is being used by another person or program! I have tried to bring up safe mode and it still
wont let me delete it! I have tried to go in my other account, and it still wont delete. I have tried to end certain processes and it still wont delete. How can I get rid of this file?

You're welcome! That's a program I downloaded a while back and saved in my Master Programs list just in case I need it some time.
