Maybe it would be easier if you gave it to me in Danish. :-)
There should only be three possible messages you can get. In English, they
are:
* You must give permission to complete this action - This is a UAC message
and indicates that only administrators can take this action. In this case
there is a Continue button with a shield on it and you can click that to give
permission.
* You do not have permission to <do something> - In this case the
permissions on the file do not permit you to delete it. If this is what you
see right-click the file, select properties, click the Security tab (assuming
you are using a SKU that shows it to you), and grant yourself permission. If
you are an administrator you can do that.
* The file <somefile> could not be deleted because it is locked or in use -
In this case something is holding the file open and you cannot delete it
while it is open. The simplest fix is usually to reboot the computer. As long
as the program does not launch on boot this will release the lock and you can
delete the file. There are other methods as well, but they require more
tools.
Does your message fall into one of those categories?
