Can Not Delete File

[Guest]

There are to people who can log onto my computer,both have full privliges.oN
the no 2 log in desk top is a file I wish to delete,when I try to do this I
get the folloing error message(Access is denied.Make sure the disk is not
full or write protected and the file is not currently in use.I have also
tried to delate it using a programe called unlocker.I was told that if I went
into safe mode and then right clicked on desk top then properties then
security I could change the settings to allow me to delete the file.The
problem is that when I go into safe mode it only shows my log in name to
start up.
Thank You.

If your an administrator then going into Safe Mode will allow you to access
the other users desktop, just go to C:\Documents and Settings\{ username
}\Desktop and delete the file, job done.

Hope that helps ?
