I'm trying to delete the google notifier folder so that it won't run...
And I get this
you need permission to perform this action


I have googled for the answer and found so much on the subject and so much
run around and of course the stupid newsgroup bickering on how to do
things....

So simply... how can I delete this folder, when I am the administrator

Hi dwolf--

Simply right click the folder and assign your profile full permissions and
if they're already there assign users full permissions at least for the time
you use to remove the folder. Or you could try going to msconfig in run
box>Tools>turn off UAC ***temporarily in order to remove the folder.

This usually works to take permissions of files and folders in Vista:

To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps:

Right-click the folder that you want to take ownership of, and then click
Properties.
Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message (if one
appears).
Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
In the Name list, click your user name, or click Administrator if you are
logged in as Administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want
to take ownership of the contents of that folder, select the Replace owner
on subcontainers and objects check box.
Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the following message:
You do not have permission to read the contents of directory folder name. Do
you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you
Full Control?

All permissions will be replaced if you press Yes.

where folder name is the name of the folder that you want to take ownership
of.

Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you
want for the folder and its contents.

To take ownership of a file, follow these steps:

Right-click the file that you want to take ownership of, and then click
Properties.
Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message (if one
appears).
Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
In the Name list, click Administrator, or click the Administrators group,
and then click OK.
The administrator or the Administrators group now owns the file.

Alternatively (and temporarily assign permission to users for that folder):

Rt. click folder>properties>security tab>highlight your profile>add>type
users in the object box>OK button>put checks in all boxes>apply>close
dialogue box.

Good luck,

CH

Have you tried uninstalling the program first?

I usually don't go around just deleting folders without trying that first :P

The folder comes along with Google toolbar which I like... unless there was
an option I missed that said not to install the notifier ..
Well with all the different advice given, and didn't work for me, I learned
how to log on as the Administrator, deleted the folder and that's that

Hi Dwolf,

Glad to hear you got it anyway.
