How Do I delete Folders & Files

Try this: I had the same problem, and It worked for me.

(1) right click on the folder, then click on PROPERTIES
(2) Click on the SHARING tab, then check the box that
says "make this folder private". Cick on OK.
(3) the computer will ask you if you want to create a
password. Click on NO.
(4) now delete the folder. it should work.

I just installed WindowsXP and there are some folders I
would like to
delete. Each time I try to delete a fold, the screen
says it is, " in
use by another person or program"

I am the only one using the computer and am not using
this program nor
am I using practically any other program. I have changed
these file
Properities from "Read Only" to "Archive" and still no
luck. One of
the probgrams I want to delete is, "Outlook Express". It
is not listed
in "Add and remove problems"

Please help,

Mike

PS: I didn't put in the name of an Administrator and I
put in "Mike"
as the only user.
