the reason for being unable to delete a file is: 1. The file is in a protected area of the operating system, such as in Program Files or Windows. 2. The file is one that belongs to All Users, such as a shortcut on the Desktop put there during an application installation. Since it isn't user-specific, the system requires elevation. As for elevating permissions, Vista handles true Administrative access differently than XP. See: Changes to the built-in administrator account in Vista http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=942956 Create at least one extra user account with administrative privileges since the built-in Administrator is disabled by default. Call it "Management" or anything except "Administrator" (you can't anyway). Unless you have an emergency, you'll never need to log into it and will just use it for elevation purposes. Create a Standard user for your daily work. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ | ||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: Destination Folder Access Denied you can follow the steps by Malke or you can take full privileges before deleting any file and folder too. Use CMD as Administrator and execute the following commands with absolute paths of dirs.
