does anyone know how to delete a write-protected file?

There's a few things that I think of. Sometimes, that just means the file is in use and a reboot is all that is needed. Other times, you need to right-click the file and choose Properties, the uncheck the box that says Read-Only. Otherwise I dunno.

i have tried restarting it so many times and it says that something about hidebags.exe im not quite sure because my computer restarts to fast to c. and when i unclick the read me it still doesnt work.but thx ne ways. does ne one know wat to do?

try booting into safe mode, and make sure you end any processes associated with the file, then delete it??

okay ill try that thx

Do you perchance play World of Warcraft gaming?

Hi. I runned into that damn problem too. And after days of searching I finally found this software: Delete Long Path File Tool.

It's GREAT. You can find it here: www.deletelongfile.com

You have to pay for that program. There are free ways to do what it does so why pay for it? Are you associated with that site perhaps?
