Hello, iam using Win XP Pro, with NTFS formating. I have a Folder, appears to be empty that once had some extracted files in it. It is in my Morpheus folder. Anyway, when i try to delete, rename or open the folder it simple says access denied. When i try to delete it says: "access denied, make sure disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." Any help with this would be greatly, greatly appriciated.

Thanks,
J.

Try logging on as local administrator if you set that up when you installed XP Pro.
