I just did a system recovery on a Gateway with XP Pro from the restore
partition on the hard drive. One of the restore options was to save
the old windows files in a folder called Backup (date). So I did that.
After restoring the OS I copied all the files I needed back into the
new install from the backup folder. Then I wanted to delete the backup
folder. Everything deleted OK except...
C:\Backup\Windows\System32\Macromedia\Flash\flas h8a.ocx
No way in hell can I get it deleted. "access denied". I booted into
Safe Mode where I could get to the security options and no matter what
I try I can't remove the read only attribute. I'm already the owner
and all the permissions are checked. I also tried the delete on boot
option in HijackThis. But the file still won't go away. Googling says
download the flashplayer uninstaller. But that doesn't work because
this file is in a backup folder which is not the *real* installation.
I also tried a Hiren's Boot CD. Same message there, "access denied".
Of course, it is not "hurting" anything, but it'd sure be nice to get
rid of that 5 deep ugly folder.
Any ideas?

Google for , and try using Unlocker .

Thanks. Unlocker worked!
