From: Anteaus on 29 Jan 2010 23:40 To gain access you probably need to take ownership of the folder-tree. If using XP Home this is tricky as the controls are only accessible in safe mode. In Pro you need to turn off Simple File Sharing. A better alternative, get and build a copy of BartPE or UBCDWin. http://www.ubcd4win.com/ http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ "Jordan" wrote: > I need to remove a virus from a Vista computer that is in > C:\Users\Username\Local Settings\Temp.
