-=PCTechTalk=- nonexistent zero byte file

    I have an icon on my desktop that I cannot remove. I received an e-mail 
that had a forward e-mail in it and I wished to scan this file before 
running it. I saved it to my desktop but when I did it also made a zero byte 
file that at the time had no file Association with it. I tried using many 
different methods 's to remove this file. I tried saving it as a text file 
and then deleting it though it come up with the icon of a text file it's 
still would not open nor allowed to be deleted or moved even in safe mode.
    I've tried many programs such as move on boot or 
http://www.gibinsoft.net/  but still I have this icon on my desktop that I 
cannot delete. I do believe that it might be possible from the Google 
searches I have done that this could be done through DOS mode or possibly 
through editing the registry but I really don't fill up to that.
    The original error message is (cannot delete file: cannot read from 
source file or disk.) . If any of you may be able to help me I would 
appreciate it.
