you guys both posted that right after I logged off and ran it in safemode! LOL!
This is simply not possible. He might be good at fooling you, but the two are simply incompatible.
Not true. He is the one example of a smart liberal, who is also kind and wise. Most liberals I know are narrow minded and petty, he is not.
Our major disagreement is about the effacy of government interventions. I think they are invariably captured by special interests and are counterproductive and worse than useless. He thinks agrees, but thinks they are marginally better than useless.
His background is largely middle class, he’s never really known poverty or poor people, mine is a lot more hardscrapple. I witnessed the war on poverty first hand and saw its destructive effects.
This will show you the roles of each account on the system. If you are not listed as Administrator, have another account that is listed as Administrator login and change the role of your account. Then login to your account and retry the deletions.
What!?!? This smart fellow used that bloated, fancy, WYSIWYG, user-friendly vi editor? No thanks. I am a real he man and wouldn't reduce myself to such eye-candy. Instead, I embrace the immutable fact, Ed Is The Standard Text Editor.

You know, I believe you.
I use my machine to trade stocks and options, so I can't really get down and dirty till the weekends. I've been wanting to upgrade, but I have 4 screens and until recently, couldn't get but 2 to work. Bought a new video card and now have 4 screens on Win 7. Now I just need to get my email up and it's complete. I'll get it eventually, but it ain't vanilla. My final goal is to have Outlook save my email on a separate drive to save it from a c:\ crash or virus. I save my vitals on separate partitions or drives to just keep the program files on C:. I can always restore from my DVD's if the important stuff isn't lost. I haven't had Office long enough yet to figure out how to get it to save somewhere other than C:. I migrated from Office XP to Enterprise 2007 with no problem on my XP drive. Now that I want to migrate to Win 7,... all kinds of trouble.

Right click the program you wish to run. In the drop down menu you should see a selection “Run as Administrator.” Choose that selection.
My Win7 would not recognize me as administrator until I reinstalled Win7 and set myself up as administrator. Best Buy set up my computer in such a way that I would have to come back to them to do any administrator stuff. Usually when I get a new computer, the first thing I do is wipe and reinstall the OS. This time I was too lazy until it crashed.
Just think what it would be like if MS owned GM! But a copy of Linux puppy should enable you to move them. Boot from CD
BEST BUY is where I bought this one and it did NOT come with original WINDOWS disks!!
They told me that wqasn’t BEST BUY’s fault, it was HP’s fault!
I scramed at them, they sold me an upgrade for works to WORD, then when I needed the original WORKS disk to do the upgrade, I did’t have it!
scumwaffles, I complained loud enough, they did it free
No computer comes with original Windows disks anymore, just “recovery” disks, which have Windows on them, plus a bunch of other crap you may not need nor want. If you didn’t receive recovery disks, you can make them from Windows. Still, you should have had Works on the recovery disks; I prefer Works to Word any day.
I didnt get any disks at all, not one
zip, zero, nada

Just as an aside... there is a lot of wisdom behind the idea of initially setting up your admin account... but also setting up a standard user account to actually use for your day-to-day operations. That way, even if the computer becomes somehow compromised by a virus, trojan or whatnot, your account doesn’t have the permissions to do some of the more wicked things to the computer.
Ideally, we should all be operating daily in a reduced-permission account and only use an account with root rights for the times you need it, like installing something new, or making deeper system changes.
I finally set up my Dad’s computer that way... and it has saved his butt (and a few of my weekends) a few times already.
