I've been trying to clean up my hard drive and erase programs I don't use but it says I don't have permission. How to I get it since I set this up as my own computer and am logged in as myself when trying to delete. I also have problems with the computer freezing up especially if I try to do more than one thing at a time. My old computer from 2001 is faster than this one! It's a dell inspiron 1501.

Hello vgsr,

 

Are you the admin?

 

When your computer freezies up, are you checking your processes? too many processes or high CPU usage makes your computer run slow and freezes and crashes. I wish they made a program that turns off processes so computers run faster, and dont freeze. But then you you have to find a faster one(computer), and bigger one. Right now my laptop has too much going on, so I better stop listening to mp3's.

 

Hope what I said helps you? I dont know everything just thought I would share what I have learned and hope it helps

 

 

Yes I am the admin. When I try to delete programs I don't use from the hard drive it says "you don't have permission." How do I bypass that and get to my OWN hard drive?

You should use the add/remove, NOT simply delete the programs.  They are likely running, which why you can't delete them.

I agree with the last post. Dont just delete them go into add/remove programs and do it the right way.
