Am I dumb?? I can't delete a file.

Well I actually have a couple problems. The first is that I downloaded a file but it won't let me delete it. The error message says the filename is either too long or invalid. It shows as 0kb but I believe it was a bundled file that needed to be opened with like WinAce or something. Either way, I can't delete the file. When I right click on the icon it doesn't have the normal options. Rename, delete, properties.. none of those things are there. It just has open with, send to, or play. But it does not play any files or run any programs.
 
I ran antivirus and protection software but it didn't detect it as anything harmful. I actually have three files like this on the system and just can't seem to get rid of them.
 
Also, everytime I turn on the computer, the window opens up for C:/WINDOWS and says these files are hidden. This window never used to pop up before right on start up and I was wondering how to stop that from occuring.
 
Thanks for your help!
