Well I am "ME" so how can I give myself permission ?? I have tryed every
security setting - auiting/permissions/inherit etc.

Thanks for the help. I used the disk cleanup tool and it just took them right
out. so I never had to try your way. Thanks anyhow.

This build (5600) is giving me a lot of problems. No sound, screensaveer
crashed my rig. Can't install any drivers for my Video card. I have an ASUS
A8N-SLI Premium Board with AMD 4600 Duel Core and ASUS N6800GT Video. Nothing
but problems.
