Try to use Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml this programs often works when the normal functions of remove Vista not work correctly.

If this does not work, you need to change the permissions and ownership on the file in order to have all the rights and the property (even on the inherited rights).  Then try Unlocker.  Here's the information to help you do.

To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, 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/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

I hope this helps.

  • How to remove a toolbar that was added when I downloaded a program?

    I use Firefox 7.0.1 and Microsoft Windows XP Professional version 2002 Service Pack 3. I would like to delete (to get rid of the NOT hide only) a toolbar that Firefox has been downloaded when I downloaded a program to print internet coupons. The toolbar is called 1001reductions.com.
    I read your article on the removal of toolbars, but this solution only applies to the toolbars you add Firefox buttons. I found no other articles that talk about remove toolbars downloaded.
    I want to delete this toolbar because it slows down Firefox because it constantly monitors the sites I visit, and it display coupons offerings or other stuff on this site.
    Is there a way to get rid of the toolbar? If not, reinstall Firefox would fix the problem? Thank you.

  • I can't delete a folder. In addition, in some cases, I can't delete some files.

    Using Windows Explorer (Windows XP) I can't delete a folder. (The data are not a program).

    File attributes are set to "hidden files" and the folder is empty (0-byte and no files are in the folder).

    In addition, the folder properties (and file) / attributes are 'read only '. When I uncheck "read only" and click OK, then look again at this, the box comes back to "read only with a check mark. (???)

    When I try to delete the folder, the message says "no empty folder", and it won't delete.

    Also, when I try to delete some files (in other cases) some people will not remove.

    Help, please.

    The 'read only' box on issues is not what he says. ignore it.

    A folder will not delete if it contains a locked file.  You will need to unlock and remove the file first.

    "Some files" will not delete because they are locked - that is to say, they are in use by an application.  There is a utility called "unlocker" used to be recommended to correct this situation, but the download now includes adware that may be reported by your antivirus/antimalware dangerous application.

    An 'empty' file that will not delete can be fixed if you run chkdisk.  Click Start > run and type the following command, and then click OK

    chkdisk/f

    A window will open to inform you that chkdisk /f cannot be run while Windows is active and proposed to schedule a chkdisk for the next reboot.  Answer Yes and restart.  When chkdisk is complete, delete the folder.

    The files that appear to be in use can be deleted by one or more of the following techniques:

    A. deleting a command prompt window.  You need to know the name of full of the file path.  For example, if you try to delete a file named test.txt that is located in a folder named Non empty folder on your desktop and your user name is NR16020, the full path name is C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non empty Folder\\test.txt

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Use the del for the files command and the command rd for folders.  If the full path name includes spaces, include it with double spaces.  Using the example:
      del "C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder\\test.txt empty"
      'C:\Documents and Settings\NR16020\Desktop\Non Folder Empty' RD

    B. remove in safe mode.  To access Safe Mode, restart the computer and repeatedly press F8 immediately after that the power on sequence is complete.  If you see the Windows logo, you waited too long and need to try again.

    C. remove from a command prompt with closed Windows Explorer.  If the procedure fails because the file is locked, follow these steps:

    • Close all running applications
    • Open the Task Manager
    • Open a command prompt window
    • In the Task Manager process tab, right-click on explorer.exe, and then select end process
    • Open the command prompt window and follow the steps listed in point A above
    • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...), type explorer.exe, and then click OK
  • Upon resuming from hibernation my computer asks continue logon or delete restoration data. Restore data refers to a previous restoration or a restore point that was created for later use?

    Original title: F8 and troubleshooting.

    After starting my computer Gateway Profile4 after hibernation, I wonder to continue logon or delete restoration data. Restore data refers to a previous restoration or a restore point that was created for later use? If restoring the use of revert to a previous state, you can cancel that catering is also created which I think could be is requested.

    original title: after waking up from hibernation, he asked me to continue logon or delete restoration data.

    Recently, I had this problem.  This link above (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294427) helped me.

    Basically, it seems to be a corrupted restore point created to go into hibernation.  I think that the system wants to remove that restore point and reboot "fresh."

    Restore data refers to a previous restoration or a restore point that was created for later use?


    A previous restore point.

    If restoring the use of revert to a previous state, you can cancel that catering is also created which I think could be is requested.


    If I understand you correctly, no.

  • I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. What should I do?

    I can't delete some files that I uploaded to the server. I get a notice: FTP an error occurred - cannot delete the PDF download server folder. Operation failed. The directory is not empty, or there may be a permission problem.

    What should I do?

    Try to delete the files in your folder first.

    If there is a permissions problem on the server that you cannot delete files, you need to contact your Site Administrator (if you have one) or your Web hosting provider.
