Yes. I could find no process that I could identify as associated with
tosinst.exe. Since, for some reason, tosinst.exe is only 1kb in size, I'm
thinking that it is more a case of corruption, than "file in use".
As it turns out, I was able to move the file to C:\, and delete it via
DOS.
Thanks for the reply,
