Delelteing Files - Win7

When trying to delete files on a brand new Dell Opti 990 running Windows 7 we get a progress bar indicating "Preparing to Recycle" .

When "more details" is expanded you learn it's calculating; Time remaining, Items remaining and Speed: however it does not make any progress.

The machine has all Windows updates to date. We are running it with a Domain Admin account. All local firewall settings were removed. Can't think of anything else.

Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

This happened with an installation file copied from a network drive to the desktop. After running the install (Lotus Notes 8.5x) we could not delete the file. The last recommendation to un-check the 2 boxes on the file properties seemed to have done the trick.

Thanks a bunch - this was a very informative response.
