It says:

"Cannot move *blank*:access is denied.

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is currently not in use."

All of them are just some useless programs that came with the computer, but they're just in the way.

Are you logged in as an administrator or are you using a limited account on the computer?

Hi welcome to CTH. :happy:

Never tried it myself, and seems most related to Dell... but it might just clean up some stuff for you. Click (http://www.yorkspace.com/pc-de-crapifier) ;)

Decrapifier
I like that.:D
Think I just might put some bleach in a bottle of water an add some rose scent to it and sell it as a bathroom cleaner.

That's why I asked, cause a limited user can't delete icons off the desktop.
Did you tell your Mom you changed your user account to administrator?
She's going to find out anyways and it could be hell to pay coming your way.;)

EDIT: If you get in trouble for doing this tell your Mom it was dammit's fault.
