While viewing  c:/restore in an Explorer window, append an "\" to the
end of address and hopefully you'll see the temp folder in the
drop-down.  If so, check file & folder properties.  Change them
accordingly (if hidden and/or read only).  If you still can't delete
offending files from within Windows, go to DOS (select Run from START
menu, and enter command in in Win98 or lesser, or cmd if using Win2k or
above).  From there make your way to the folder and delete from there.  HTH.
