I'm having a problem deleting files from 'c:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Documents'

I get a mesage saying
'Cannot delete file : Access is Denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write protected
and that the file is not currentky in use'

Someone on another thread suggested a program 'who lock me' - which I tried,
and it shows that NO-ONE has locked the file (other than windows explorer I
am using to look at it)

My user is an administrator, and I am the only user logged into the computer.
The files were written by me in the first place.

Anyone any ideas?
 
First place I would look would be Computer Management Console (right click on My Computer, select manage) . Go to System Tools\Shared Folders\Open Files and check that the file you are trying to delete is not still registered as open. If it is, close it in the CMC. Then try deleting it again. You might want to clear out your Temp file folder as well?
One question, have you tried logging on to your pc as the local admin, locally on the pc? ( I ask this because you havent stated how the pc is setup, so I am just covering the obvious).
