Run Clean

JDPower, Thank you for the suggestion. I tried the Unlocker program and still unable to get the files deleted. I have tried to boot in Safe Mode (command prompt only - no GUI) and still can not delete the files. I tried to uninstall the applications with no change. Adobe wants to charge to attempt (no promises) help remove the files. I think personally think it is a Microsoft issue. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I have researched and checked all the Q & A of the fourms and have made sure the correct boxes were checked. I saw the answer mentioned here. It did not work, that is why I posted in this thread as opposed to starting a new thread. This post already mentioned to make sure the Custom Files and Folders box was checked. I did, why would I not try something already mentioned. It is possible there are problems. Why did you jump to the conclusions that I did not read this thread? BTW -- I had the box checked from the start, as a programmer I know to look at all options before looking for assistance.

I am also having aproblem where CCleaner is not deleting custom directories. D:\Documents and Settings\Terry\Desktop\Drive(D) Somehow a group of directories were accidently copied to a new folder on the desktop. I was able to delete all the files and folders in the above directory manualy except D:\Documents and Settings\Terry\Desktop\Drive(D)\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9c.ocx D:\Documents and Settings\Terry\Desktop\Drive(D)\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9c.exe D:\Documents and Settings\Terry\Desktop\Drive(D)\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll D:\Documents and Settings\Terry\Desktop\Drive(D)\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\pdfshell.dll 1) Note the files are READ ONLY, I am unable to remove the READ ONLY attribute on the files 2) CCleaner does not report an error and even takes the files off the status screen until I rescan. 3) I have untinstalled ALL Adobe products, yet I still can not rid my PC of these stray files Any Suggestions? Can CCleaner be given an way to change file attributes or at least ignore any attributes? Thanks BTW The reason I looked for, found and tried CCleaner was because of these 4 files.
