I got a driver from Nvidia's because while I was playing a game it said my opengl driver was not good. I installed the driver, but know i can't delete the .exe. Here's a screen shot if it's useful http://prntscr.com/76ew92 . My friend and I have tried everything.

Did you attempt to remove it via the Control Panel?

He seems to refer to the file, not that it can't be uninstalled.

Heyyo, use Display Driver Uninstaller http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/ Download the program, extract it and restart in Safe Mode (F8 tap it during reboot after BIOS screen) Run DDU, Select "Clean & Restart" Once back in regular boot? it'll detect and install basic display drivers (DON'T select "Clean Install" under the custom settings, it sometimes has problems with SLI setups). Once that's done? Install the latest NVIDIA drivers for your GPU and then reboot (Optional) Open up DDU (if it asks to reboot into safe mode? you don't need to, so say no) and then click on "Set Automatic Driver Installation to Default"

Ignore all other comments in this thread. The solution is to launch Task Manager, close Windows Explorer EXE, which removes the Windows UI while keeping Task Manager active. Then create a new process and restart Windows Explorer, deleting the file quickly before Windows can attach to it.

You might face issues because the uninstallation isn't handled correctly through the control panel, leaving your system in a messy state. Enjoy experimenting with your blocked registry and sluggish OS!
