I jus installed win7 32bit and everything is working smoothly.. "touch wood".. now as i was goin thru my c drvive i saw a funny lookin file with this name "a91a8a583b8fc1af6541" with a small lock at the bottom... i opend it and it had these two files in it.. "msizap" and "onecarecleaner" (wonder if they are sys files).. i tried to delete the whole folder and i get this on the screen, ARE U SURE U WANT TO DELETE and i say YES.. then the 2nd pop up says U NEED TO HAVE ADMINISTRATOR PERMISSION TO DELETE THIS FOLDER.. (which i am.. i am an administrator) now my admin name is RJ-PC/RJ... and still its telling me i need permissions from RJ-PC/RJ...

well guys plz help me want to learn abt this and how to get full access to delete this folder or any folder..

i also tried to log in as the default administrator in the pc and still same msgs...

thanx..

Try this. It will add a Take Ownership option to your right click menu.

Roban compressed it using the RAR format. That's not the default format in windows, so you will need a third party software to open it. You can use 7Zip.

Though, to save you the hassle, I rezipped it for you. Just download the file, extract it and run InstallTakeOwnership.reg.

No. That's the remains of the old Windows, left after an upgrade.

You can delete it, or browse it to get old files back.
