i have a file with an unknown extention that wil not delete, in a p2p folder
that i am unable to access through explorer, that i think is responsible for
my pc being unable to start in safe mode so that i can delete it there.
any ideas?... i have run all sorts of spyware and antivirus (too numerous to
mention), with no results. this folder is on my backup hard drive(western
digital 80 gig).

See Aumha website page for removing unwanted & hard to remove files.

Given this problem & your use of p2p, I'd bet your pc has malware infestation.
