Delete write-protected files
I cannot delete write-protected files. Message comes up "Access is
denied..etc." I know it is possible to find where these files are "hidden" and delete. Can someone please tell me how to do it? Anthony Matthews |

Delete write-protected files
Select the file, right click, select properties then attributes will show
read only etc. Deselect this. Be careful what you delete. Rick "Anthony Matthews" wrote in message ... I cannot delete write-protected files.

I cannot delete write-protected files. Neither can anyone else. That's one of the things "write-protected" means. Message comes up "Access is denied..etc." I know it is possible to find where these files are "hidden" and delete. Can someone please tell me how to do it? Are you having trouble finding the files? Make sure you're set to see them. In My Computer, go to Tools | Folder Options, and on the View tab, check "Show hidden files and folders." Once you can see them, you can turn off write-protection and then delete them. But what are the files you're trying to delete? There may be a very good reason for these files being hidden and it's possible that they should *not* be deleted. -- Ken Blake Please reply to the newsgroup |
