When I try to delete program files, after several 'are you sure' prompts and
vista asking me if I started the action, then several more 'are you sure'
prompts, I get a message that I need permission for this action. There is
only one account on this machine as the owner with admin privileges. Who
gives the permission and how to I delete files?
 
Hello,

permissions are set automatically with Vista. However, for some special
folders it seems that you don't have enough permission at the moment.
Try right-clicking the folder -> Properties -> tab "Security", and giving
all permissions to your user account (and adding permissions for the user
groups you belong to, e.g. "Users"). If that doesn't work, click "Advanced"
on the same page, go to the tab "Owner" and set yourself as the owner.

Greetings,
