[dba-Tech] OS on Eproms

Helmut,

The first link givs a 404 error (see below)

The second is seen as a threat with MS thowing this warning:

This website has been reported to Microsoft for containing threats to your
computer that might reveal personal or financial information.

I found the unlocker you speak of but it doesn't seem to cover what my
problem is. I do not want to UNLOCK folders, I want to DELETE them.  Here is
the issue I had:-

1. Download and install MS Web Freebies. (microsoft.com/web)  It will create
folders etc with ownership belonging to SYSTEM.
2. You cannot delete  those folders.
3. You cannot change ownership to yourself or another Admin user.
4. MS does not give an un-installer.


Thanks anyway

Max

Did you hear about "Unlocker" to deal with the problem?
Here are some links.

Jim,
I seen mentioned the fact that you can put a bootable ubunto onto a memory
stick. But their site makes no mention  of this.  Do you have any info.

I would have liked to boot into Unix,  deleted the folders that MS refuses
to let me  delete and then reboot into Windows.
