A Little Help Here ?

[Mush Martin]

Hi guys, I know its not directly sh3 but

I was installing one of my favourite older games
"Freelancer" and in doing so I booted up a mod without backing
up a necessary exe. file.

Im using XP home

the problem is I can uninstall the mod
and did uninstall the game but the leftover
(and incorrect) exe file believes its in use
by another program I am not able to delete
it rename it or move it and I am not able to
install over it. further the file isnt read only
according to windows and changing it to
and from read only has no effect

does anyone have any suggestions as to how
I can dump it.
