I have an mpeg file on my local hard drive that I cannot delete. My account is an administrator account, running under vista ultimate. When I look at the file properties I see that the ownership is unassigned (unable to display current owner), but when I attempt to take ownership, windows security reports "Unable to set new owner on . Access is denied." Can anyone recommend steps to delete...

I wanted to copy my Favorites to a flash drive to put on another computer. Some of the files showed a message saying: Property Loss The File has properties that cannot be copied to the new location.

Ive tried to use \ to escape them but no luck. -- Erik Wikström

I've not been able to complete any file backups successfully for about two months. Some of the error messages suggest that I need to tell my antivirus program to stop interfering with accesses to wherever the list of previous backups is stored - but so far I've had no success finding out just where that is.
