[QUOTE="quad, post: 16456601, member: 17952"] He probably does not have administrative rights on the computer. My wife has the same restrictions. If I was in his shoes and the files were really sensitive then: I would take the hard drive out of the computer and put it in another computer with another OS drive and log on as administrator. Then you should be able to access the files and delete them. You might be prompted to get permission to access the folders as well. Once deleted just pop the drive back in the work computer, close it all up and boot up to make sure everything is all good. If the files are not critical or very personal I wouldn't bother. On an unrelated note: I have gotten myself in trouble before - more than once - after hacking the password of the administrator account on two occasions. I used a brute force method to get the passwords lol! I won't bother with this anymore. I did this about 25 years ago and my intentions weren't malicious. I had deadlines on two separate occasions and needed the machines to render animations. So I hijacked them for a few hours to get the animations rendered. [/QUOTE]
