Deleting Sunbelt Software Files

[Lisandro]

There is no security tab.

Are you using XP Home?
I suppose your file system is NTFS (and not FAT32).

No, I haven't done a registry search.  I'm not comfortable messing with the registry, I use CCleaner & RegCleaner, but I don't think they can be used for searching for certain entries, or can they???

No, they can't. If you want to delete a specific key, you need to use Regedit or other registry tool. Anyway, I don't think that the deleting right is set on Registry but in folder properties.

Did you try to delete in Safe Mode?

Have you tried MoveOnBoot 1.1

MoveOnBoot 1.1 wasn't able to delete the folder.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I couldn't delete the folder in Safe Mode.  There is no Sunbelt key or folder in registry.

Why the folder should be so persistent?  There is a site focused on this topic.

In safe mode or not, when you use rd command, you may want to use parameters like "/s" "/q", making it like "rd /s /q FOLDER_NAME_HERE".  This enables you to delete the folder with its contents.

Can you answer?

Again, I don't think that the deleting right is set on Registry but in folder properties. Forget about Sunbelt registry keys...

1) I can't change access rights as that option isn't available. XP Home SP2. I mentioned "Renaming the folders gets 'Access Denied' " so you will know I'm unable to do anything with the folders.

2) I don't know how to do command line functions.  I guess I would need to open Command Prompt, but wouldn't know what to do next.

rdmaloyjr is using XP Home SP2...no easy way to change user rights, which is why I recommended Safe Mode.  About NTFS or FAT32, there is no answer yet.

Yes, I'm using XP Home SP2 & NTFS.

If it is about user access right, you can change it trough cacls command.

First, of course, Start>Run>type "cmd" to call Dos Window.

If the folder in question is in C:\Program Files\Kerio, then,

Code: [Select]

cacls "C:\Program Files\Kerio" /e /r /c /g "Your User Name":f
This should grant your account full access to the folder.  You can check it with the below command.

Code: [Select]

cacls "C:\Program Files\Kerio"
Of course, you can do the above in Safe Mode and try to remove the folder with rd command just for better bet.  However, I am not sure if it works since you have already tried Safe Mode.
