Vista users, ever tried to delete a file in your default Vista folders, and it doesn't allow you to? Then read on, and you will never experience the problem again.
1. Open Notepad, and type the following into it:
2. Now, go to File > Save As > and save it as <anythingyouwant.reg>.
3. Now Right Click the .reg file, and click Merge
4. You'll need to grant permission, click Continue.
5. Microsoft Registry Editor will give you a security warning, click Yes.
6. A message will tell you the Registry has been successfully added, click OK.
7. Now, go to the folder/file you want to delete, and Shift + Right Click it.
8. Go down the the option that says Take Ownership, and click it.
9. You'll need to grant permission, click Continue.
10. When the file/folder that you want to delete is under your ownership, Right Click it and click Properties.
11. Go to the Security tab, and click Edit.
12. Tick every single check box, for every single group/user, and press Apply, then OK, then OK.
10. Now delete the file/folder, if it doesn't work, either:
a) This file/folder is VITAL for your computer to stay running.
b) The file/folder is in use by a program.
PS: If you want to remove the Registry, open Notepad, then type:
(i) Now, go to File > Save As > and save it as <anythingyouwant.reg>.
(ii) Then Right Click it, and click Merge.
