This is by way of clarification and addition to my previous post,
"Files Resist Deletion".
Running Windows 7, 64bit.
I inadvertently change something with respect to two files involving
permissions, etc. Now it's impossible to delete or move the files. I
am repeatedly told that administrative permission is needed to do
anything.
I am already logged on as the administator. I've tried everything but
the two files remain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated & thanks ...

you'll have to close the file from the application, or simply close the
application and let it close the file for you.

Thanks for your response.
Actually NO, the files are definitely NOT in use by any application .

This got posted as a new message by mistake, so here repeated :

archiving and allow this file to have content ... , are selected. When
I attempt to change these, I'm told that I you will need to provide

Chances are that the file's permissions are set to allow modification by te

SYSTEM account only. Note: SYSTEM account is *above* all administrator
users.
So, you'll need to change the permissions of that file to allow modification
by the current account or any administrator users.
That's the main goal. However, depending on how the file permissions was
applied, you'll may need to change the permissions of the containing folder
first.
If you changing the permissions is also not allowed, you'll need to take its
ownership to the current account. Only then you'll be able to change the
permissions. You may need to close all of the dialogs when you're asked to,
due to the ownership transfer. i.e. the UI won't be updated to reflect the
new owner. So you'll need to close the dialogs and reopen them again.

At last after several weeks of occasionally trying to delete the two
files and their directories, it finally just happened. Thanks to all
who responded with much useful information on items like permissions,
attributes, inheritance, ownership, etc., some of which I was
unfamiliar. Today I was aimlessly jabbing at things and all of a
sudden, I clicked out and no permission challenge or error. All's well
now and thanks again for all the help.
