Folders That Won't Stay Deleted

There are four folders under "Program Files" that I can't
seem to get rid of. I've even booted into "Safe Mode
Command Prompt Only" and deleted them, only to have them
return like some sort of UNDEAD the next time I boot into
Windows normally. They a "microsoft frontpage" (which
I do not have installed), "msn gaming zone" (which I've
never used), "movie maker" (which is the WORST of the
undead), and "xerox". How do get rid of these zombies
once and for all?

They are protected system folders and can't be deleted.

You'll have to just ignore them since they are system folders
and cannot be deleted.
