I even try to delet it in safe mode, but I can't. my pc has windows vista Home premium.

How can I remove this folder completely?

Kind regards.

I don't know what to do with the ownership of an item.

In the tutorial...

First step is to add Take Ownership option to your context menu.

Two ASEO is to show you how to use it.

First step is self-explanatory.
Second step is... right click on the file/folder you want to delete > click appropriate > a black and white screen flashes for a second or two and disappear > now do a right click on the folder/file/new > click on delete.

I hope this helps. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

  • How to remove a folder from program files in the C drive?

    I tried to remove CA my computer for several days. I just discovered how to manually remove programs. However, will not remove the file CA in my program files. I give permission, and then he said please try again. I don't use this program because of the large amount of questions and he won't let me download an anti-virus up-to-date program. Help, please.

    You must uninstall the programs start / Control Panel / programs and features - and then select the program you want to remove, right-click on it and click on uninstall or delete - otherwise the pieces of the program stay in various places throughout the operating system and in the register - it cause you problems later and taking space without good reason.

    If you really want to remove this folder to appropriate it.

    To resolve this problem with the record of CA, appropriating the folder (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for the folders and files that can change permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can now delete the files and folders.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html... If ownership doesn't work, someone has placed a deny access to all user somewhere safe - you have to find that entry and delete it and then you will be able to delete the files and folders.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Thanks guys,.

    I have it! Extensions of the hybrid.

    I use Adobe Extension builder 3 in Eclipse to code and create the zxp for Premiere pro panel.

    See the hybrid extension HTML panels advice part: #10 packages / installers ZXP | Photoshop, etc I added a hybrid extension using the manifest editor Panel within the extension Builder. It creates an automatically mxi file with all the properties, I have to change the maximum version number of host in the mxi file to make the extension in the first pro CC 2014. Using the hybrid option in the Bundle manifest editor you can choose a set of folder paths to put the files during the installation itself and can be used later using "csInterface.getSystemPath (SystemPath.CODE)" of javascript functions to edit.

    Thanks for your relpies,

    In Windows Vista and 7, make changes to the files in Program Files is strongly discouraged.  It is possible, but requires a security change / property rights.  Well-written programs should look to the folder tree of data program for these kinds of things, or sometimes the user Appdata folder.  There is not another location course serve this in Autocad 2010?  There should be.

    Hello

    Thanks for the update.

    I would like you to try the following steps:

    Method 1: run Disk Cleanup and check if the problem is resolved.

    The disk cleanup tool lets you free up space on your hard disk by searching your disk for files that you can safely remove. You can choose to delete some or all of the files.

    Please visit this link to learn how to run the disk cleanup utility:

    Delete files using disk cleanup
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=Windows-8

    Note: these steps also apply to Windows 8.1 Overview.

    Method 2: run SFC scan and verify if the issue is resolved.

    The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. When the analysis is complete, the System File Checker tool indicates whether integrity violations were found. If integrity violations are detected, the System File Checker tool difficulty integrity violations.

    Follow these steps to scan SFC:

    a. press the Windows key + R and type cmd in the Run dialog box.

    b. right-click on the command prompt and select run as administrator.

    c. type sfc/scannow , and then press enter.

    NOTE: It can take some time to finish the race.

  • Start in > all programs displays of empty program files

    Hi - I hope someone can help me. I searched and found others who have had the same problem but no one has released a fix to work for her.

    I got a virus last week that hid all the icons on my desktop and in my Start menu in my C: drive. I deleted the virus and was able to restore my desktop icons, drive C: and Menu master boot successfully, but I still have a problem. When I click on "All programs", my program files appear, but they are all empty. Programs are always installed, but for some reason, they do not appear when I click on the folder in the start menu > all programs. I can't do a restore system - the virus deleted my restore points as well. Is there a way I can rebuild my Start menu without having to do a reinstall full? I tried to create a new user profile, but the problem exists in the new profile as well.

    I can run programs if I type in the correct .exe file in the search at the bottom of my Start menu bar (for example, iexplore.exe), but if I just type the name of the program, search does not find it. When I click on start > all programs, it seems normal at first, but if I click on a folder (such as Microsoft Office), it just says: (empty) under the name of the folder.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. I checked that there is no virus on my computer by running MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware in safe mode, run the Avira rescue disk.

    Folder options are checked to show hidden files and folders, so that's not all.

    Thank you!

    If you place the cursor over the menu start all the entry of programs then right click & select open and then again to select open all users, shortcuts appear in the files that open upwards [i.e. just are we discussing their appearance in the menu programs all]?

    If the shortcuts are here [I'm just a little hesitant about the meaning of what you have written before], then you might just get away with running the System File Checker.

    I always agree with well Dissed - that the virus could hide here all the time since the last attack.  If all goes well, there is a good guide to the procedures for removal of malicious software by SpiritX in How to remove spyware from the computer , it will prevent a determine of this infection.

    Good luck with this annoying problem.
