Vista has crashed on me several times in the last few days. Every time I restore the operating system it creates a huge backup file on my C: drive. My hard disk is filling up fast but when I try to delete these files I get a message saying I don't have the correct permissions. Since I'm the only one who uses this computer and have all the privliges what do I need to do? |

Hi, You need to open either explorer or the command prompt with elevation. Click start, type explorer (or cmd) into the search line. Right click the menu entry and choose 'run as administrator'. Click continue, then delete the unwanted backups. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Stan" <Stan@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:28D733F5-6C58-408F-8B27-44F250534857@microsoft.com... > Vista has crashed on me several times in the last few days.
