How to delete a file that cannot be read?

I have a file/icon on my desktop that I cannot either move or delete. In a random folder I wouldn’t care but this is annoying on my desktop. Anytime I try to either move or delete the file I get an error that says “Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk”. I’m running Windows XP with all the updates. I have already tried restarting to no avail.
