Recycler virus

Martin, There is a problem or two. I am still using MS Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3. I have been able to find the equivalent folders and files in XP Pro, however. My problem is that when I attempt to delete the only file in the C:\Recycler folder, I get a message that I cannot delete the file because it is being used by another person or program. I am in the Safe Mode and have no other files or programs open now. Please help. Vern
