Access Denied

K

Kevin

I am getting an access denied error when trying to delete
files from my Shared Video folder. I am the only person
on the computer, and it tells me I am the administrator,
but I cannot delete the files.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Make sure the files are not on some kind of play list in some other
application, especially Windows Media Player.

If that isn't the issue, go to the following site, go to line 39 and double
click "Delete an Undeletable File in Windows XP."

Be sure you are well backed up as things can go wrong when attempting fixes
such as the one described at the site.
