Ahhhh you never said you had XP Home!

Perhaps it uses 'simple file sharing' by default?

If you've got the files on a NTFS disc you can't delete then there should be some sort of security or user permission control you (if you're logged on as a Administrator) can alter.

Either that or you need to perform a chkdsk to ensure the disc file structure isn't damaged. Perhaps check the files aren't just readonly protected?

Sorry, I've never used this horrible castrated version of XP so I can't really help any further. :-)
