While I can understand your annoyance at improper capitalization; I have to
ask why you ignore some things - like punctuation, spelling, inaccurate
splitting of words, not enough spacing, too much spacing, etc?

If you are going to nit-pick, why not go all the way?

I recently deleted a user account; it was password protected - the
files that belogned to that user are still password protected.
When I try to get in (as admin), it says, "Cannot access (name of
folder/file) - access is denied."

Ideas?

Please, I really need help.
