I cannot delete files that I as administrator have. When I try and delete files in a folder I get an unable. I try and remove some old movies and I get the graphics alluding that files are being deleted, but No files in the recycle bin????i tried taking ownership....... Access denied. Tried chaging permissions......Access denied......WIN 7 is getting me to go nuts... Hours of my life has been wasted for a very simple task. Before I take a hammer to MS and go with Apple can ANYONE help me.
