deleting file in the explorer window...

[Guest]

I am stumped....I can't delete two specific files that I just created. It is
an "mpg" file in a Windows XP o/s. I always get the message window
titled "Error Deleting File or Folder". The message is, "Cannot delete
show.mpg: Access Denied". "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use". The attribute of the file,
using the
windows explorer, is not "Read Only" or "Hidden". I tried everything, I
can't
seem to delete the file. My computer is a stand alone without any "uer
login".
There is no login security in my workstation....

Any ideas????

Thanks,
Fred

I sometimes have this issue. Try restarting the computer and then deleting
the file.

Try using a utility like Unlocker.

Restart the computer to safe mode (Restart and keep tapping f8)
Log in as the administrator, then delete it from safe mode
