    Program files


    Somehow I accidentally downloaded my program files to windows media player. This has caused considerable problems and I cannot remove them. I tried to remove but it says I am not the system administrator and cannot delete or move them. How to I become my own system administrator and remove these files from the media player? HELP!!!

    What is the name of the folder in which these programs reside?

    What is the complete path to that folder?
