$this_var = "Cannot delete filename: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. I am not an expert so I don't know about the rest or your post, however there is a little freeware program called Unlocker that I have found extremely useful in deleting most files I get the above message on. It can be found at: Click here! http://www.nonags.com/nonags/fileman.html It also gives a little info on what process is keeping the file from being deleted. Hope this helps. I also hope I did this reply correctly. This is only my second time in this forum.

Disabling the Find Target button may not do much good. I know of at least two other ways to find the target without using the Find Target button, and I am no expert. They can use the Start menu Search program or manually search each directory. There are a couple of solutions depending on the answers to the following: 1. Are your friends on their own account or are they using yours? 2. Do you want to protect specific individual files/folders or all? 3. Are the files/folders in your account directory or in the main directory like the Windows and Programs file folders? 4. How much effort or money do you want to put into this? The simple and quick way if the files/folders are in your account directory is to go to C:\Documents and Settings, bring up the Properties window for your account folder, select Sharing, and check 'Make this folder private.' Then password-protect your account through Control Panel User Accounts. Once that is done, while still in User Accounts you create an account your friends can use. This will stop them from accessing anything in your account directory, including shortcuts. If you want them to have a copy of something you can copy it to their account.
