I am using XP SP3.0 and I performed a Search, but then could not find in
Windows Explorer all of the items listed in the Search. I already "Show
hidden files and folders" in all folders. I am the Owner and Administrator
of this computer. How can I find and delete these files?

In addition, I cannot delete some files from a program I no longer subscribe
to/use. I get the error, "Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full
or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." How can I
delete these?

Hi.If you see the items in the search box.Right click on the file you
want.when you right click you will see open containing folder.Click on that
it will bring you to where the folder is stored.If you want to delete these
files right click then delete.Also if you type the name of the program you
want to get rid of.Delete it from the search box that should get rid of
it.Some programs can be a pain.Hope this helps.TERRY.
