Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

Problem... I would reinstall Windows but my XP CD magically dissapeared. I don't have $50+ to shell out to fix the family computer that my 4yr old brother will probably destroy again tomorrow.

My little idiot brother destroys the family computer hre too. He installs p2p programs no-one has ever heard of and installs "security" programs that actually just install spy-ware to every folder it can find. Yesterday I tried to get rid of his newest p2p app. It wouldn't un-install, insisting it was already gone. So I went to My Computer\C:\ to look for the stupid thing manually, but somehow it managed to get itself locked in my hd and was write-protected so I couldn't move the stupid thing. Then I got really pissed and went looking through the registry for all the reg keys assciated with the thing. I found about 500+ keys. I spent all night deleting the goddamned things. Even now, some files are associated to that stupid p2p app. And I can't change them! Everything is still write protected!

It's called a format.

Do the write protected files just have the properties->Read-Only checked?
