    While I was at work one of my daughter's friends downloaded an old game (Lode Runner for Win 95). They installed it but couldn't get it to run.....

    I wanted it gone so I tried to run the uninstall, it didn't work. so I just started deleting files. Now I am down to the Setup.exe file but I can't get it to delete. Vista tells me I don't have permission and when I go to Properties it says it can't determine ownership.. I can't change ownership to anyone.


    How can I delete this last file?

    Does Killbox work with Vista?
