I turned my laptop on the other day (running WinXP Home) and it shows me this bubble saying that there are files waiting to be written to the CDR. I opened the folder, to find that the files were left-overs from a CD I'd burnt the night before. I tried to delete them from the "CD Burning" folder, but couldn't delete them. "cannot delete 'filename' Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected, and that the file is not in use." Ok, no problem, maybe the attributes need some adjustment...nope that doesn't work. Maybe Windows is using these files (.ttf files) for windows fonts... All my fonts are still in the fonts folder (C:\Windows\Fonts) so I think, maybe if I try using a DOS prompt. That didn't work either. I was able to open a few of the files in notepad, and edit them, then save them, under the same filename, then when windows discovered that they were not valid font files, it let me delete them. There are though, 3 files left, that I can neither edit nor delete...the odd thing is, that I can move them anywhere, copy them, and delete the copies. The only thing I can't do is DELETE them. I can move them to the Recycle bin...they sit there nicely, until I try to empty it...then the error message comes again.
I've checked and double checked attributes, of the three files, and of the folder that contains them, but can't figure out any way to get rid of them.
Any ideas?

Oh yeah, I also tried editing them in the DOS file editor, when I try to save, it says "Unknown error while accessing file 'C:\Fonts\filename.ttf' Error 183."
