Any program that is locked by windows can be removed if you boot into DOS using a DOS 7.1 floppy. I would recommend backing up csrss.exe in DOS, then remove the main copy just in case you really do need it as there is a legitimate MS program with the same name (...subsystem). Then boot into windows and see if things are ok.
