Vista - Can not delete tmp file from desktop

Can not delete tmp file from desktop

I am running Vista Home Premium (and often long for XP). I have UAC turned
off. Excel XP put a temp file on the desktop but I can not delete it. I went
to Advanced Security settings to change ownership. The current owner is
"Unable to display current owner." and I can not edit to give me ownership.

Can someone please offer a way for me to delete this file? I don't want my
desktop to become cluttered with a bunch of useless file icons.

Thanks for any help!
