Hi. I just recently had a virus on my computer and I had
to Reinstall a fresh version of XP. In the process, it
left behind some files that I cannot access. The alert
tells me to "Make sure the disk is not full or write-
protected" when I try to access the files. It won't even
let me delete the folders either. I tried the System
Restore, but, it didn't work. Anyone that could help me,
please do. I would really appreciate it.
