Access Denied
 
About 2 weeks ago I purchased Dawn of War installed it onto my partitioned D: drive and then updated it and cracked it so I wouldnt wear out my CD. Then I finished it and didn't play it for about a week and then i got a bad virus onto my C: drive which corrupted windows beyond repair so I decided to format C: after reinstalling all of my programs onto C: I wanted to delete Dawn of War from my computer because I was bored of it but here's the problem I can't remove it from Add/Remove programs list because of the format so I tried to go to the folder and right clicked it and clicked delete but then it comes up with a message saying 'access denied' to the folder so I tried deleting the files individually and that didn't work either but I know I can use DOS to delete the game but I don't know the command so if anyone can tell me I'd appreciate it. (p.s. the game's directory is (D:/Program Files/THQ/Dawn Of War/) thx in advance

There are two ways that I know to do it,
1. Boot up into 'Safe mode' then delete the folders etc
OR
2. Reinstall the game then uninstall it.

thx for the help grumpy but i managed to fix the problem i went into security options of the folders and change it so that all users were able to modify and delete the files but its weird because it was like that before and didnt work oh well its fixed now so im happy :D

Hmmm good one, I didnt even consider or think of that way, well done for working it out yourself. ;)
