find out the path of the file, then delete it in DOS. You can't delete it in windows because it's a protected file.

First, write down the exact file name. Boot up on the WinXP CD, and select recovery console. I believe you have to log in with the administrator account.
 
When it's done booting up and logging in, type the following:
del c:\windows\prefetch\FILENAME
 
Where FILENAME is the exact name of the file you wrote down. Hope this helps.
