Need help in deleting a system folder

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hi,

To delete the folders you must:

a) Turn off system restore on the drives where the folders are located. This
is done from the system applet in the control panel (System Restore tab).

b) Take ownership of the folders themselves. Please see this link on "taking
ownership" of a folder:
