can't delete a folder

[Husky]

I just did an imaging operation for C:\ to a file. To make sure the program did everything I expected I also restored it, but to a data only folder on another drive.
I deleted all except 2 files. 1 is an ocx, and the other is mountpointmanagerremotedatabase 0 bytes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that's the name of the file

I tried attrib -r -a -s- h got access denied on both [mount is both system and hidden]. the ocx is read and archive attributes.
I tried booting to safe mode and using the cmdline interface to change the attributes and delete them and got nowhere.

I used regsvr /u on the ocx, that claimed success, but it's still not deletable.

Any help on how to delete these ?

Nope... But I'd try MoveOnBoot...

MoveOnBoot:

In other words - I don't know if it will work. It's worth a shot.

Some folks have good luck with a Kixstart script to move them and other
folks end up resorting to drastic means like a Linux bootable CD.
