i don't like the attached message when i try to delete a folder that contains another folder.
why can't it just say something like "cannot delete folder as it contains a subfolder"?
and just who is S-1-5-21-2525366777-830484531-1026876974-1000 anyway?
i turned off UAC long ago, hoping to avoid this permissions thang...
(i hope i haven't gravely compromised my system security by revealing that number!)
That number is the Security ID for a user - as you are seeing a number rather than a name the user concerned is either from a previous OS or another OS in a multi-Boot system.
There are no security implication over and above providing access to your bank account and innermost thoughts
i don't need no steeeenking ownership...
i just wanna delete the *expletive deleted*...
i only see this when the folder i want to delete contains a subfolder.
after seeing the error message, i can easily delete the subfolder. then i am able to delete the top folder, without having any permission issues.
so it tells me it's not mine when it contains a subfolder, but lets me delete it later anyway...
windows sux
If you delete the inside folder can you delete the outside one with the error?
