When running disc clean up i get a Windows "File Protection" alert.This is a non-internet p.c and is used in my recording studio.It has NEVER been online.The sequencing software is 'genuine'.Any ideas please,Best,Antz
P.S i should add this sp1 system.If there is any more info i need to provide please ask.Its not a showstopper problem,just a small annoyance.

I was just browsing through when I saw that you had not recieved a reply. Have you checked to see what file is protected? I had a few of those, and they were nothing more than files that I had put a password on. Others were system files from some software that I installed, and once, the protected file was a backup file. Quirky thing, but probably nothing to worry about. I've had to manually go in and remove the "read only" attribute before I could delete it. I never use disk cleanup, myself, I prefer to remove things by hand. Then run a registry cleaner to remove registry keys for what I deleted. "Regseeker" is an easy to use tool, and it's free.

I get the same thing, I have never been able to work out what file it is that causes this. Cleanup dose do some annoying things to some computers and it might be related to this. I would use CCleanup if you get this problem message about protected files being deleted.
