Greetings from a frustrated newby.

I've had to reinstall WL, but have discovered 
that the directory (WriteLog) is "locked".  I 
can't access it, can't delete it, can't rename 
it....in short, it seems to be very much "bullet 
proof".  I've tried to delete it using DOS 
commands (thank goodness I remember them), 
programs that are supposed to delete locked files 
and directories on reboot, and other such 
attempts to rid myself of the locked WriteLog 
directory.  I've checked WinXP permissions - I'm 
the only user and I'm the administrator.  No luck.

The problem is that I can't reinstall WL, because 
it tries to place the files in that directory, 
and installation stops.  Any suggestions, other 
than re-formatting the hard drive??  What a pain that would be....

73 and thanks in advance for any thoughts on the subject.

Joe
