Truly sorry :o if this has been properly answered already - I really have looked but not found a satisfactory solution anywhere.

Reading the posts this seems to be a common problem - user not being able to delete/cut-paste/alter a folder, despite having administrator permission. "you need to confirm this operation", yada yada.

I am computer literate. I've checked the folder permissions. Yes I have administrator permission. Yes I am the owner of said folder and all contents (a Chris de Burgh album I'm ashamed to admit). But can I delete the frickin' thing? Negative. Grrrr...! :mad:

Someone please:

1. how do I delete this damn folder? I've flirted with Chris's folk stories and I really don't want them on my computer any more; and

2. why is Vista tormenting us like this?

Any assistance much appreciated. :D
