Locate it first. Restart in DOS mode if you can. Move to the directory where it resides.
use attrib -s -h -r choke.exe to get it where you can then del choke.exe
Ususally it is because the file was made read only, but access will also be denied if the file is in use by windows when you try to can it. Ed Fair
