Re: Need to delete a file but Vista does not let me.

I was reading this thread with high interest as I'm having the same kind of trouble...

Kerry, your first reply gave me the idea to turn UAC off. And, in fact, that was the solution to my problem. So my experience is quite contrary to what you've written in your last response.

Strange...
