Heh, I wish I had started playing with Windows 8 before now.
Again I probably should have done a clean install instead of upgrade, but when I try to delete the folder 'C:\Windows.old', it prompts:
'You will need to provide Administrator permission to delete this folder'.
I answer 'Continue' and then after scanning all the files it's going to delete it prompts again with:
'You need permission to perform this action.
You require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder.
Try Again, Skip, Cancel'
Try again doesnt magically work. There is only 1 account on that laptop and it has admin rights. Time to google for some solutions, or if I get desperate I'll boot Linux off a usb drive and delete the folder.
Also I'm guessing I can turn off the notifications for 'There is a newer application for this filetype' everytime I open a JPG on the desktop. Time to hunt that setting down too.

Try taking ownership of the folder?
