Hi, I have the following error when I try to delete corrupted .exe files:
Cannot delete <filename>: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not
currently in use.
And when I try to open them:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have
the appropriate permissions to access the item.
When I go to Properties, what used to be normal WinXP exe files now have the
Properties for an MS-DOS program! There isn't even a security tab.
They used to have application icons, but since corrupting, they only have
the 'MS-DOS window' icon.
*Please note, this is NOT due to permissions or security - I'm a full
administrator and the files aren't locked.*
I've run a full disk check with bad sector scan, twice, but it didn't make
the files deletable. I also can't delete them from safe mode.
Is there a better disk check program that will?
Any idea what caused this? They were in a compressed NTFS folder.
Thanks in advance.
