[Windows] Unable to delete files transfered by rsync

[Chang Wooi Po]

Yes, of course. It should be very easy.

Except, the only funny thing is I actually couldn't find security tab in the
file properties.

However, after searching in google, here's what I got.

The security is by default turn off in WinXP. In order to turn it back on in
XP, just go to Window Explorer, Tools->Folder Option->View, scroll the the
last item on the list, "Use simple file sharing", turn off the option and
you shall see security tab in file properties page now. According the
website too, this only applicable to XP-Pro, XP-Home doesn't seems to have
this option.
