Board index » Windows Vista » Deleting Vista Help Videos

Windows Vista11
The Windows Vista Help videos are a nice touch, but take up space

unnecessarily. There does not appear to be a convenient way free up the

space they consume and since there is no separate Admin logon, I am told that

I need to permission to delete the files manually. I have tried to set the

folder permissions for my user account to allow full control, but that does

not help. I have tried turning off UAC, but that doesn't work either.



How do I do this?

Windows Vista Help files are system files that cannot be deleted.

I figured Microsoft had secured their 200+ MB of unnecessary bloat from being

removed, but thought I'd ask anyway.



Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry, a bit off topic still a reality check on how Microsoft makes

sure their products 'work'. While old, still funny. You see awhile

back the boys of Redmond invited dozens of Wall Street bigwigs to see

an early version of Vista in action.



Here's the result of years of work. Very funny!

And its over the fact that you're simply too stupid and too incompetent

to figure out how to proper install Vista.

You're pathetic!

You have no sense of humor at all. I bet that guy in the last video

pounding on his keyboard with his fist then throwing his monitor on

bullhead and dumbass to do something like that.



Same old lie from the same old troll. Chance your tune Frank, you're

starting to get to be a real bore with your same tired lies.
