You go to the folder off of Explore and to Properties, and with the Security
tab enabled on the folder, you add your logged in user account to the folder
and set permissions for your logged in account to Full permissions. You will
be able to delete the files.
If you don't see the Security Tab, then find out how to disable Simple File
Sharing, that will expose the Security tab.
If you are user/admin on the computer, then is some cases, Vista will not
let you delete, because it is looking at your account as user, and it is
looking at your account as admin (user/admin). You don't have Full rights as
user/admin on Vista like you have on XP.
If you are user/admin, then Vista is looking at your combined rights. Admin
has Full permissions for your logged in user/admin account, but yxq *user*,
if you are logging in with yxq as user/admin, is not an account that's on
the folder or file. So in that case, user yxq doesn't have the rights.
There is another account that is on all folders or files if you look at it
via the Security tab called Users (machinename\users), and you will see
that it doesn't have Full rights, and in particular, it doesn't have Delete
permissions. Vista and NTFS are defaulting to the USERs group and is
applying those rights to the combined rights of user/admin, if it doesn't
see the *yxq* user account.
Vista and NTFS are going to stop you as user/admin from deleting, because
you are part of that Users group as user/admin, and you have a conflict been
your Administrators and User rights. You don't want to give Users
(machinename\users) Full rights, because anyone that logs into the machine
as a *user* will have Full rights, and you don't want that.
What you'll want to do is add *xyq* to the folder or file which will equate
to xyq (machinename\xyq) and give the *xyq* account Full rights like
Administrators (machinename\administrators) then you will have full rights
as *User* too or user/admin will have Full rights in both groups.
