| Guest | Can't Delete/rename/move a file.. I received a file (we'll call it Mydata.cp) within a ZIP file. The ZIP file and data file were created on an XPP machine. The CP is an Adobe Captivate file. (212mb) If I run Captivate, I can't open the file. If I run Captivate as Administrator, I can open the file. If I run windows explorer as Administrator (and maybe I'm not doing this right), I cannot rename or move the file. If I run command prompr as Administator, I can't delete or rename either. If I right click the file, and select properties, nothing ever shows. I've looked at the properties of the ZIP file and "unblocked" it. Any idea what is going on? what I've done wrong? Thanks, Paul |

| Guest | Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file.. Is the .Zip file deletable? The .Zip should be unblocked before its files are extracted, otherwise the extracted files will also be marked "blocked". Which apparently Mydata.cp still is. (You can Unblock it by opening its Properties). As far as deleting it, try this: At an elevated command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: takeown /f Path_And_File_Name For example, type: takeown /f C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\WasZipped\Mydata.cp Type the following command, and then press ENTER to grant administrators full access to the file: icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F For example, type: icacls C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\WasZipped\Mydata.cp /grant administrators:F Then try to delete Mydata.cp.

| Guest | Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file.. Thanks dean - I'll give that a try. Sounds like you agree it's a security issue. I had "unblocked" the zip and then extracted the file at one time. One thing I didn't mention is that there were 3 other files in the same ZIP. No problems with them ( htm, js, and SWF file). Thanks for your suggestion.

| Guest | Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file.. dean.. any idea how long those command should take to execute? I cancelled takeown after 5 minutes... tried icacls as well - same problem.....

| Guest | Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file.. If you look at the file's Properties, is there a Security tab? If so try taking ownership, etc. that way. But the file's Properties might be borked some other way as well. The commands I gave should happen in seconds.

| Guest | Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file.. You said you could open the file with Captivate, as Administrator. Can you make some changes to the document, and then save your changes; that is, with the same name, in the same folder? Or can you just erase a vast amount of it's content? I've never used the program, so I don't know how editing a ".cp" would work... My goal is to get the file to acquire properties. It's corrupted, so I don't know if that would work.

| Guest | Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file.. Captivate is a multi-media type file. I was able to open one and then did a save-as. I don't remember if I resaved the original. The save-as file (a different resulting file size) exhibits the same problems....

| Guest | Re: Can't Delete/rename/move a file.. You may be right. I think Explorer has a problem with .zip files once they reach a certain size, or perhaps if a file inside it reaches a certain size. Do you still have problems deleting Mydata.cp? If so, try deleting the folder it resides in, holding down the Shift key on your keyboard, and then choose Delete.
