Problem Deleting desktop icons for users even with admin rights
Have you tried re-syncing the content? Media Player should go out and get new licenses, if necessary.

Problem Deleting desktop icons for users even with admin rights
Check the permissions in their user profile folder\desktop under documents
and settings. By default the user would have full control permissions unless somebody changed them. The link below explains more on changing NTFS/folder permissions. They would need full control or modify allow permission to delete any files. Also if they are a member of a group that has deny permissions to the folder they could be denied ability to delete the files. --- Steve http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308418 "munrobagger" wrote in message ...
