Default deleting Gaming Zone folder


I uninstalled a Game Zone game and am now attemtpting to
delete the MSN Game Zone folder. I was able to delete the
individual game folder, but every time I try to delete
this folder it comes up read only, even after changing
attributes repeatedly.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Mark

Hi Mark,

XP features Internet games which are kept in the same
folder that the MSN Gaming Zone uses. You cannot
delete this folder, as it's guarded by the Windows file
protection system. If you want to delete it, try this:

Click START / Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs
/ Add Remove Windows Components / Accessories and
Utilities / [Details...] / Games / [Details...] / then uncheck
the box next to Internet Games / Click [OK] 3 times to finish.
