146882 2003-05-23 04:24:00 Hi,
How do I delete temp "access denied" files found in a routine cleanout exercise?
I get say 200 files i e BAK ,tmp etc etc which delete when "select all" is selected.
I get down to about 20 and this "access denied" stops any further deleting - making the alternative a "hi lite on the file beneath the denied one and scrolling down to another, then deleting - then getting more denied files until the bottom of the page is reached.
In particular is Zonealarm (ZLT0404c : and ZLTo45b5)
I even tried "shutdown Zonealarm and that was no better, this in case Zonealarm was using the file

These appear to be of no value so why deny access?

146884 2003-05-23 04:29:00 These might be files which ZA has put aside for you to make a decision on, so has protected. There could be a way to delete them from the ZA control panel. Graham L (2)
146885 2003-05-23 04:48:00 ZA does not usually intrude into files such as tmp as it is a firewall dedicated to monitoring flow of info to and from your computer. Iit is possible they are attached to some other application that is protecting them so I endorse the safe mode suggestion as likeliest to delete on demand.
