Few people know it, but when you boot off the Vista install DVD, you're booting into a different version of Windows altogether: Windows PE 2.0. It's based on the Vista kernel, but it's extremely compact. It provides read/write access to NTFS filesystems, a wide range of 32- and 64-bit hardware drivers, network connectivity and the ability to run both 32- and 64-bit applications.

I've used the PE from when XP came out several times, its quite useful for when you get spyware that doesn't want to be removed. Just boot up PE, change to your hard drive, remove file.
