Hi,

I am trying to delete a folder in the programs folder and I am told that I
can't delete it and that I need special permissions from the administrator.

I am logged in as the administrator and I notice that special permissions is
not checked for the administrator group.

How do I add special permissions to the administrator group??

If anyone is wondering why I need to delete this folder this is why. I
tried to installed Nero 7 and it crashed. It placed itself into the
add/remove list of programs but wouldn't let me remove it. I had to remove
the program from the list using RegEdit and now I need to remove the folder
as well.
 
Right click the Administrator's folder at x:\Users > click Properties >
Security (tab) > under Group or user names: > click Edit > click Advanced >
under Permissions tab > check "Include inheritable permissions from this
object's parent" and "Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all
descendants with inheritable permissions from this object. > OK > OK.

Try deleting it again.
