[Solved] Delete a system protected file

[SnakeMasteR]

Hmmm . . . . . . . . . . . nearly 24 hrs. are about to elapse since this topic was opened - by now, I'd have done deleting my entire system and that of the neighborhood, :P

if u r trying to delete avast file (thats what looks like from the snaps posted by u)

why not simply enter safe mode and get the job done

Ok so I finally did it and going thru this process, I obtained some conclusions:

• Any default windows file protected by "SYSTEM" user group can be overridden by Administrator.

• Any 3rd party file protected by "SYSTEM" user group can't be overridden by Administrator if it is protected by some module of that 3rd party app..The Avast license file I was trying to delete was protected by Avast self defense module and turning off the module I was able to delete the file.
