Hi All,
I've found a (relatively) simple solution to the undeletable folder problem. Several
of these folders were present on my system, including the Xerox one. I followed the
instructions at:
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/790/
After a reboot, you are then able to remove the folders as you normally would. Be
aware that this does, however, also remove the protection of critical system files,
which depending on your level of expertise, could be either good or bad. The tweak
itself is harmless.
