Uninstalled a media program, and it left behind a folder in the
Program Files folder that contains a file: ac3filter.ax.

Vista won't let me delete the file or folder, due to rights.

Tempted to try deleting it with unlocker -- but before I do that:

Question: Does anyone know if deleting this file ac3filter.ax in
program files will cause problems later with Windows Media Player or
any other part of Vista?
