RE: Delete .exe files

If it somehow helps You, the Danish text is: Adgang til destinationsmappe
blev nægtet. Du skal have tilladelse til at udføre denne handling.
The message is similar to: “You do not have permission to…”. But I already
have changed the ownership and all permissions: Full control, Changing,
Reading, Delete and all others, are check marked in the “allowed” field.
I have also tried to start in safe mode, but somehow the computer reboots
before windows is finished with starting up, in safe mode, so this is somehow
impossible and this is the next problem I must solve.
I’m running Vista Business preinstalled on a Hewlett-Packard computer and
all MS updates are installed.
