IT IS MY PC I AM THE ONLY USER SO I SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION.I HAD TO REINSTALL
VISTA TWICE SINCE IVE HAD IT.I T WOULD NOT LET ME DELETE THE TWO WINDOWS OLD
FOLDERS CONTAINING ABOUT 16 GIG WORTH OF DATA.I CHANGED THE SECURITY SETTINGS
TO ALLOW FULL ACCESS IT STILL WOULD NOT LET ME DELETE THE COMPLETE FOLDERS,I
HAD TO DELETE FILES INDIVIDUALLY.BUT THEN I USED DISK CLEANUP AND IT DELETED
EVERYTHING WITHOUT FILE SECURITY WARNINGS WHY?
