Hi Guys! This is my first post here, I found this website searching on google for a problem...
I hope I can get some help here and I would like to help others too, since I'm a member of some forums.
Here is my problem:
I have Microsoft Windos XP Home Edition Service Pack 2
I decided to reinstall my system using the "System Recovery" Disk that came with my computer, the company who make the covery disk is: SoftThinks http://www.softthinks.com/us/index.asp
So far so good, I reinstall my system using the recovery disk and this process gave me the option to create a backup of my hard drive, this will create a folder with all my data, settings and files to: C:\My Backup (my backup is a folder where all my data is)
After I finish reinstalling my system I when to: C:\My Backup the first time I couldn't open it, I see the "Access denied error" I had fix this problem I boot my computer in safe mode and added the correct permissions to the backup folder, this fixed the problem, Now I'm able to access all my data, settings and files in this backup folder, now I want to remove or delete this folder but it not letting delete it, I delete all files and folder under: C:\My Backup acept for one file named: Flash9.ocx
The path of the is: C:\My Backup/windows/system32/Macromed/Flash/Flash9.ocx
At first I thought this folder have to do with my OS but not at all, I mean is just a backup folder that I want to delete. Every time I try to delete it manually I see this error message:
Cannot delete: Flash9.ocx Access denied
Please make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.
I search on google.com yahoo.com and microsoft's website for this problem with not luck, I even went to Adobe.com, I called the company where I bought my computer and the coudn't help me.
I used TuneUp to delete the file and not luck, I tried this software: http://www.gibinsoft.net/gipoutils/index.htm to delete it but it didn't work. I tried to unistall my flash player thinking this could be the problem why is not letting me delete it, but it didn't work, I tried to delete it in safe mode but I see the same error message. I make sure all permission are right but it didn't work, I have full access control to this folder and I'm not able to delete it.
I don't know what else can I do to delete this folder, I'm not planning to format my disk because I have too many files here. I hope somebody can help me.
If there is another way to delete this folder I will thank any help.
