deleting files in vista...help!

I trying to delete some files that I don't want but I can't seem to delete them. 
Specifically they are sample pictures and audio files that are provided with Vista. 
I've tried to reset the pemisions but I don't seem to be able to change them and, 
therefore, are unable to delete the files.

I've done some reading about this and unless I'm getting this wrong (which is possible) 
the reason is that they are classified as System files and even I as the PC owner/administrator 
am not allowed to delete them.

Any advice??

Mike

Surely if Uncle Bill has decided you are not to delete them, the mere owner/administrator of a PC should be content with that ?

Thanks, I'll try that!
Someone has just told me there are some files you just can't period in Vista

I must say I'm not very impressed with Uncle Bill's latest creation and find myself 
ignoring the new desktop and using XP on my laptop.
