    I downloaded it, opened up the folder and double-clicked the .reg file and it was successfully added to the registry. But, there's one problem. When I use it on a folder, it just non-stop spams(very fast too) the "This item is now owned by me" message. I wouldn't really mind that it does this, but the problem is it doesn't even work. I still don't have permission to delete the folder I want to delete.

    Using Vista Home Premium, trying to delete the FileRepository folder. But I get the same failed results every time.

    Any suggestions?

    lesson learned: patience is a virtue.

    The reason I got all that spam is because there really were that many files in there, which I knew but failed to connect :p.

    problem solved, err, there never really was a problem.

    Hope the folder wasn't something like the System32 folder. :eek:

    Well, the folder was inside system32 folder but apparently it's not needed... says an article on these forums, haha.
