Very Computer

On my Win2000 system there are some folders
C:\Program Files\microsoft frontpage
C:\Program Files\Outlook Express
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player

How do I delete/rename/move these folders?
Whenever I tried to perform one of these operations Win2000 told me something like:

"Cannot rename microsoft frontpage. Access denied"    or
"Cannot rename Outlook Express: There has been a sharing violation"

Especially I do not use Frontpage and Outlook. So I want to uninstall these programs.
How can I do that ?

Thx in advance
Thommy

G'day Thommy,

Have a look in Control Panel >Add/Remove programs.

Cheers,
Camshaft.

If these programs were part of office you can uninstall them by using the
"Add/Remove" applet through control panel and choosing the version of Office
you have installed, it will then pop up a box where you can choose to add or
remove components of Office.

You are unable to remove these folder because they are either write
protected or a file within the folder is currently running in windows. It is
never advisable to remove programs in this way.

Hope this helps

Probably better not delete files and folders like that.....    Best to
remove programs with Control Panel, Add remove programs....  Afterwards if
the folder still exists you usually can delete it.

Hi Thommy,

Not sure about C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player, however a search of the Microsoft Knowledge Base returns an article titled:
"Error Message Occurs When You Attempt to Delete Folders".  A snip of this article: "Windows File Protection (WFP) handles the
folders under the Winlogon process. There is no practical way to remove the folders, but the folders can be hidden from view."  For
the entire contents of the article, search for it at the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
