I have been asked to help friends to remove a folder from
their desktop. Sounds simple right? Wrong. After
switching the folder from Read Only, it instantly
reverted back to read only, and will not delete. I have
tried the command prompt, but again, the folder remains.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove this file
from their desktop?
