My guess would be that those are system files that could be owned by the trusted installer. Can you tell us wich files we are talking about. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

Those are programs. Why don't you just uninstall them - best with Revo (advanced option) http://www.snapfiles.com/get/revouninstaller.html
