Your keyboard is defective. Contact keyboard manufacturer.

Re: file security

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.

Re: file security

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.
