Cannot delete certain files

[Guest]

Hello,

I am having a small problem and I thought I would check here before sending
a bug report. I want to make sure I am not at fault.

When I install programs from my normal user account, I get asked to provide
the administrator password to continue. I provide the password and the
install will continue normally.

When I go to delete the icons that were installed on my desktop I am asked
again to provide the administrator password. I provide the password and the
deletion continues. Now the problem is that the icons that I just deleted
are still on the desktop.

If I log into the actual administrator account I can delete the icons with
no problems. This also happens with any other files that I don't normally
have permissions with my normal user account. I provide the administrator
password and nothing happens.

Is this a bug or something I am doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

This is partly a bug.. but if you login as the Administrator in Safe Mode,
you can delete almost anything non-system critical.
