Hi Again -
I have a couple of backup CYGWIN directories on my hard drive that I cannot remove even when I logon as "Administrator".
I had a disk crash and was forced to restore the W2K system onto a new harddrive. I used the old drive (120GB) as a data disk. The old drive contains the old CYGWIN directories which I now cannot delete.
Windows Explorer displays the properties of these directories. I cannot change the READ-ONLY status of the "Shorcuts" in these directories. The 'security' allows read and or execute only, no write, modify or delete. The owner is "S-1-5-21-184423 ... "
I can take ownership of the directories, but not of the 'Shortcut's
within the directories. I get the message
"You only have permission to view the current security information on <filename>"
Note that I can only view, not change any security. It seems that "S-1-5-21-1844 ... "
is the owner of the 'Shortcuts'.
How do I delete these directories?
- Kind Regards, Don
