Just getting rid of the useless microsoft games folder, I am
told I do not have permission to delete the png images.
Everything else deletes. So I go to set permissions. Nope.
Can't do that either. It will not change from "creator
owner".

I change ownership, go through the hoops, click ok. All
appears to be fine. But nope. Windows is saying **** you.
We're not allowing you to make the damn changes on this.
You're stuck with it.

It's my god damned ****ing machine! If I don't want your crap
on it then that is my right. What the hell is so damned
privileged about a frickin image?

Now how do I fix it?
How to Take Ownership of a Item in Vista. Also works in Windows
7

worked like a charm thanks. now why can't M$ make it that damn
simple?

They do - it's you who's making it damn hard. Control Panel
Programs and Features Turn Windows features on or off. Clear the
Games box.

Does that actually remove all copies from the machine (including from
the more-or-less-image of the install DVD), or just remove their
shortcuts?

Just removes the shortcuts. All of Windows 7 is always installed, but
there is really no reason to actually delete anything. Deleting bits and
pieces to free up disk space in these days of terabyte drives is silly.
