OMG, this was driving me nuts. I had just created a folder and unzipped some files in it. A few minutes later I wanted to delete them. I could delete all but 1 .exe and 2 .dll files. Your tips on running the command line as administrator, typing: net user administrator /active:yes, re-booting, then deleting the files worked like a charm. I love help desk geeks that share their knowledge. Thank you so much.
