Just when you thought the insanity was over, researchers claim that two new WMF exploits (along with proof of concept code) have been identified in the wild. This news comes just days after Microsoft released an 'out of cycle' patch for a newly discovered WMF exploit. The new flaws affect fully patched versions of Windows 2000, Windows XP (SP2 included) and Windows Server 2003.

Then you just log in as Adminstrator and delete the offending file from the "Desktop" directory in the said user's profile. Um...unless you happen to be doing your web browsing as Administrator. In that case write this off as a lesson learned and a fine opportunity to play with a Linux live CD (as the other reply suggested) to fix the problem (hmmm, do I sense irony here?). Although this could be a royal PITA if somebody got an offending Email in Outlook and had the Preview pane enabled (heaven help us all). Crash...re-open Outlook...crash...ad nauseum. Forced removal of the entire offending .pst I guess.
