I have a problem that I know can be fixed on my compaq by doing the factory reset but I would like to get some information to see if I can fix it before I do it.

Problem one is that if I download any .exe file to my desktop, explorer.exe (unlocker shows me) is locking the file and I can't delete it. I don't have to use it just save the file and it won't go away.

problem two is that for some strange reason process explorer shows that firefox opens another explorer.exe and it slows down my computer. Now seeing as how explorer.exe locks the file could a uninstall and reinstall of firefox fix this, oh and here's my hijackthis log that I took not too long ago:
