windows not allowing me to delete files.....

[kaustav_geek]

^^ bcoz the owner of those folders is different from administrator (its Trustedinstaller, I think) and u hv to logged in with administrator account in "Recovery Console", so u r not authorized to delete them.

He had wiped out his VISTA files and had used a Windows XP boot disk....How then do the account privileges matter ? Administrator is supposed to have more privileges in Win XP right ?

^^ Account privileges always matter, if u r using NTFS partitions. And "Trustedinstaller" is a system account, which is superior than administrator account.

btw "Windows VISTA => Windows VIS(hal gup)TA" is a nice full form...

thnx.
