    Yes. File security IS a good thing. There are not many computers these days
    that are NOT used by more than one person. If each person has their own
    account, their files are kept separate from yours. You are not the only one
    using a computer. The system has been designed for what the majority of
    users do with their computers.

    Try to delete the file through the program that created the file. It is
    likely "that" program that has the file locked.

    garbea01:
    When you are running "Disk Cleanup", you are running as an
    administrator. The administrator has rights to delete. Where the confusion
    starts is that with XP by default everybody was running as an administrator
    at all times, but with Vista you are a user with administrative rights or a
    standard user and you are prompted when an administrator is needed. Try not
    to use all caps, it causes less flaming.

    Re: file security


    I understand this,but i have have tried to change the security settings on
    certain files but still i cannot delete them.Is there any way of having total
    control of files as i convert a lot of video files and once converted i
    always delete the original file.
