Deleting a Remote Assistance Invitation

Anyone experience Explorer crashing when you try to delete a Remote Assistance Invitation that you saved to your desktop? This RAI was sent via email and will not allow you to delete it.

Sounds like a virus to me.

Thanks TADspot for the respone however, it was a Remote Assistance Invitation from a trusted source. What I ended up doing was accessing the desktop on my home network by way of another computer and deleting the Invitation. By doing it this way, Explorer was not invoked so now it's gone. If anyone has a similar setup, don't forget to provide access rights to the user/drive/folders so you can make the change. Hope this helps others!!!

No its just Tad, the TADspot is my blog.
Just log in as the default admin. That has all the rights on the system.
While it may not have been a virus, a trusted source is not necessarily a safe source. That system may have been compromised.

Hi Tad,
You are on the ball. I tried to access in safe mode as the Admin but still had the problem. I believe this is an undocumented feature in XP/SP2. This may be one of those things that was never imagined in the QA cyclel
Thanks for your help!

I suppose that you could have terminated the explorer process in task manager and then maybe used iexplore (that's the IE program btw) to browse your file system and deleted it that way.
