Re: Remove mkv file

[QUOTE=Gadjan;310888] but if I don't delete it right away then I forget to do it on the next boot :)[/QUOTE]

... so each time you've got some file or dir to remove at next boot,

you can write it in such a bat command file like C:\users\toto\todo\filetoremove.bat
with the simple dos remove command like

[FONT="Courier New"]
rm c:\path\to\dir\filename.ext
rm c:\path\to\dir2\filename2.ext
...

rmdir c:\path\to\dirtoremove
...
[/FONT]

and you never forget anything
just because your pc keep it in mind four you

Re: Remove mkv file

That is to much manual work for me, and so geeky :)
Anyway I tried this Unlocker and it works like a charm, even has an explorer extension (context menu).

Re: Remove mkv file

I don't bother with security, I use Win XP without any firewall or antivirus :D and I don't have any problems (malware and virus related).
I have only one account (with admin rights). I just looked for any undeletable system files but I can't find any. I tried some files from root C drive and from system32 but I could delete anything even in win explorer.
If you give me some example I could check it out. But why would it be a security breach to use Unlocker? I would use it periodically to manually delete few files/folders here and there...

do you mean

or

in the malicious perspective
that a given user [I]toto[/I] would be able to delete some [I]titi's[/I] file
or even [I]admin's[/I] file
or also [I]system's[/I] file

Re: Remove mkv file

Sorry for my english, it's not so good...
I can delete any file I want (with win explorer). I can't find those undeletable files (with system attributes) so I can test the Unlocker.
Funny isn't it, explorer can delete whole bunch of critical windows files but every few days I stumble upon some downloaded rar or multimedia file I can't delete :).

Re: Remove mkv file

I have tested unlocker on windows 7 and xp as well and it worked very well

this is quite normal as your role has admin privilege
all what you do behave such as an admin process
that is, when surfing, and clic on an internet html page embedded javascript process: admin process
even if this javascript start malicious command

[FONT="Courier New"]*** that is the reason why to create an user account: bill ***
*** with user privilege and not admin privilege ***
*** so that each of those process is on behalf on restricted privileges ***[/FONT]

to proceed this:
- create user account [FONT="Courier New"]bill[/FONT]
- create user account [FONT="Courier New"]ball[/FONT]
- login as bill, and create some files: c:\tmp\aa.txt
those files are the property of [FONT="Courier New"]bill[/FONT]
those files can be deleted by [FONT="Courier New"]bill[/FONT] and by anybody granted with admin privilege

- then logout as bill and login as [FONT="Courier New"]ball[/FONT]
- on behal of ball, try to delete those c:\tmp\aa.txt file
- with the command line, or explorer
- with unlock

and you've got the conclusion
if ball can or not delete [FONT="Courier New"]bill's[/FONT] files

Re: Remove mkv file

Ok, I tried that, it seems there isn't a security breach.
I couldn't delete the file even with Unlocker. It says "Error debug privileges".

Hi Gadjan,

"Error debug privileges" means that you run the program with no sufficient privileges. Try to run the program as administrator.

I hope that I could help you.

Hi aplok,

In win 7, you can run programs as administrator in the following way:

First, right click on the install file of the program. Then choose "properties" and select "compatibility" tab. Finally, check mark the "run this program as an administrator".

Re: Remove mkv file

[QUOTE=bakfitty;310977]... on the install file of the program.... [/QUOTE]

... that is at installation stage,
by the installer role,
which is most of the time an admin role

but is it possible to set such
[I]Then choose "properties" and select "compatibility" tab. Finally, check mark the "run this program as an administrator".[/I]

after installation, without the installer files ?

by an non-admin role ?

I don't think you can perform this after installation, without the installer files. You have to unistall the program, get the installer file again and install the program according to the way I mentioned.
