Remove the permissions for the SID's that cant be resolved. They are normally the culprits. Then take ownership of the file.

Check the directory / file security - you will probably see a user SSID from the original drive that was copied over along with the files - you can try to delete the SSID entry. Another thing to try is to see if you can change the Properties / Security / Access Control for the folder above the one you want and apply it to all of the children.

0. Open a command window and navigate to the directory.
1. Leaving the command window open, start Task Manager and kill all explorer.exe instances.
(Whoops - there goes your desktop!  ) 
2. Return to the command window and delete the nasties.
3. Restart explorer either through the command window or File/New task in the Task Manager.
Thats all folks, nothing to see here - except you got your desktop back.

Interesting that I should collect a high-power down-vote for something that absolutely works - I used it myself on Server 2003 yesterday.
Ah well, c'est la vie.

Issue solved:
Using SysInternals Handle.exe, get a list of files in use by whatever applications.
Find and kill the application(s).
In this case, cidaemon.exe, the indexing service. Set the service to manual and deleted files.
For those that tried to help, thank you.

Alright, I have linked to a screenshot of my most current SQL Server 2008 Express log. I was going through my Windows Event Viewer, as I do periodically, simply looking for anything out of the ordinary (my routine system maintenance). I noticed several events for SQL Server with the source "Logon". When I loaded SQL Server Management Studio Express and viewed the most current log (from today) I have a VERY enormous amount of failed (remote) login attempts, all saying "Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided. [CLIENT: *Different IP's Here*]". What is going on here?
These date back to my logs from June 20, 2011, I just now noticed. I must have missed them in the Event Viewer in the past. There are thousands upon thousands, probably tens of thousands of them. They seem to come in for no more than a minute at a time. However, if you look at the log times, the attempts happen every few seconds within that minute. Then they stop and the attempt comes in from another IP address.
What should I do? I already disabled remote connections, as I did not need it anyhow. I'm not sure exactly why I had it enabled. But is this something I should worry about, since I follow procedures to ensure a strong, impossible-to-crack password? :-P

Make sure to have your internal network isolated from the internet via a firewall. That should avoid people sniffing around your network to see if there's any computers running any type of servers. Not sure about SQL server, but a lot of servers will allow you to lock out an account if there's too many failed log in attempts, this would keep them from trying different passwords over and over again. The last thing would be, if they used the same username for every attempt, they may know the username exists as a user to the server, in that case, I would recommend changing the username completely (in SQL servers that's typically pretty easy).

Hi,
I'm running windows7 and VMWare workstation v.7.. When trying to load an image of Mac Snow leopard I get a strange message saying:
Mac OS X is not supported with software virtualization. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports hardware virtualization.
Ignoring this problem, how would you install Snow Leopard on VMWare?? Apart from buying Mac laptop, any suggestion??
Many thanks,

Buy any laptop/desktop that supports hardware virtualization, or enable it the bios for the one you have[^]

Probably by taking the advice given in the message.

Shouldn't this be a post for a technical forum, or perhaps the question and answers forum?
What is it about "If you just want to laze about and discuss things that don't quite fit elsewhere, then this is the place." that you don't understand.
Let me make it easy for you to understand, technical problems belong elsewhere!
The lounge is more suited for non-technical discussions. For when people who are saturated with technical problems go to relax and discuss the rest of the human condition.
I have noticed that the lounge has had a lot of technical problem discussion lately. Please find another forum to discuss technical issues. The lounge should be what it's name implies, a place to go to unwind from a day (life) of solving technical problems.

What is the lounge if we can't even talk about technical stuff!!!

Sorry for my boorish behavior. I am in a very stressful situation at work these days and I took out my frustrations on you and it was uncalled for. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Settle, tiger.
The lounge is not a place for programming questions but the lounge is most definitely a place for technical discussions. We're all developers and many of us are gadget and tech geeks whose idea of relaxing chat is technical stuff.
However, you are correct that technical questions that are better asked in one of the other forums, such as the SysAdmin[^] forum, should not be asked in the lounge.
But there are ways that encourage someone to consider where they post and maybe delete and move their post, and there are ways that are simply hostile and lend a dark flavour to the lounge - a colour tht's been more and more prevalent.
We're people too.

Now that you pointed it out I realize that, sorry to say, I was being judgmental and most definitely could have responded differently, or more appropriately just have moved on to another post. 
Sorry Maximilien for my outburst. I am under a lot of pressure these days at work and I took out my frustration on you and it was uncalled for.
Sorry Chris for my lashing out at Maximilien. It is not my place to impose arbitrary rules about what is appropriate to post in the lounge. That is entirely in your province. In the future I will just move on the another post.

So... you are a big hamster dressed as a human? 
I can't truly imagine your face after reading that so many days after your original post...
