      Hi, i have a problem with my laptop again.

      Whenever i delete something from my computer and i restart the computer it reappears again. Its not only one file, but a few others as well..

      Another thing is, my laptop cannot log into my default account as it claims that it has not enough memory to run it. How do i clear space in my computer? Specifically the C drive?

      Thanks

      File name please.

      And the next error, please be specific about the error.

      Kindly tell us the operating system that you are running.

      Im running on windows xp professional provided by my school(SP).

      And we have 2 types of accounts used.
      1 is the administrator acct
      and the other is the "default" account than i usually use.

      So now when i log on to my "default" accnt, a msg pops out and says that i do not have sufficient memory in my drives to run that account. And even when i can log in, i have to wait damn long for it to load(approx 10-15 mins).

      The files that cant be deleted are named Crazy Taxi(The game), TopGear(Videos) and also the msn cleaner i d/l-ed

      your user account doesnt have rights of admin, so of course u cannot delete installed programs...

      Default account as in the one you use to login to sp?
      the PXXXXXXX that one? I think you can try logging in to Administrator account and delete from there.

      Log in to the Administrator account

      Navigate to this folder - C:\Documents and Settings\pXXXXXXX\Desktop

      Delete the files you don't want in that folder
