The following thread is discussing the same issue but it's unclear about the fix: VISTA: Why do i need permission to delete a file? http://forum.notebookreview.com/arch.../t-184797.html Maybe it means you need to run it as administrator but I'm not sure.

Hi Suzy,
If you right-click on the Desktop and select "Refresh", does the offending folder disappear? -- Jane, not plain  64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.

you could try & create your self a new profile & then get rid of the ols one
