WMA file types are (I think) Windows Media Audio. A slightly better form of compression than MP3 (so they say), That is used by MS Media Player and I presume thats what you are using to play these files although I think Winamp can play them. However it shouldn't cause a lock up. You could try reinstalling MediaPlayer (Or Winamp), failing that I would suggest trying to rename it to rubbish.file so that your software will not try to play it even when you have it set to random.

Could be that the attributes of the file is set to read only. Check this by starting windows explorer, right click over the file, select properties, and untick read only.

This should then allow you to delete the 'Evil devil'
