Do you mean your friend visited you, you recorded his/her CD and exported a WAV, and now the WAV is on your computer? Or did this happen on your friend's computer? If so, is that also a Windows computer? In what program do you see the lock icon? Do you have a screenshot of the lock you can upload here?

If you still have the project, try exporting it again to your Desktop or your MyMusic folder, which should not be locked.
