What do you mean by "open"? Do you want to read/write the file or do you
want to execute it (since the extension is .exe I assume you want to
execute it).
For deleting see remove() in 6.1.4 Files and Directories in the Lang Ref
under the os module.
For executing see 6.1.5 Process Management for various ways to execute
programs.
