| Guest | Another Deleting Files Problem... I'm having difficulty with permissions to delete files (in particular, files in C: and C:/Program Files). I am the sole account on the computer, and am an Administrator with User Account Control off (at least, until I get this issue resolved). When I right click on C: (or any folder in Explorer, really) and click Properties -> Security, I'm unable to apply changes to any administrator permissions. I get two pop-up messages: "An error occurred while applying security information to: [name of folder]. Access is denied.", and "Unable to save permission changes on [name of folder]. Access is denied." One is a generic Windows error, and the other is a Security Error. Help! |

You can see how to do it here: Take Ownership of file Shawn |
