    Need permission to delete files?


    Hey, I've got this problem where I cannot delete files because I need
    "permission" to do so. I am the administrator on this computer. I have
    tried several suggestions including CMD stuff (didn't work due to no
    success in doing it) and downloading that "take ownership" file. That
    didn't work either. Can anyone help me please!!!

    Try booting into safe mode, and try deleting the file again. Sometimes
    running in safe mode allows you to do things you can't do in regular
    boot mode.

    Let us know if that worked for you.

    Where are these files located?
    'take ownership' is usually an article on the MS kb site on how to deal with
    files that are usually located on another Win installation drive, that has
    been slaved to your currecnt system.

    If that doesn't work, try taking ownership (Properties/Security/Owner).
