The Windows Vista Help videos are a nice touch, but take up space
unnecessarily. There does not appear to be a convenient way free up the
space they consume and since there is no separate Admin logon, I am told that
I need to permission to delete the files manually. I have tried to set the
folder permissions for my user account to allow full control, but that does
not help. I have tried turning off UAC, but that doesn't work either.

How do I do this?
 
Windows Vista Help files are system files that cannot be deleted.

I figured Microsoft had secured their 200+ MB of unnecessary bloat from being
removed, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry, a bit off topic still a reality check on how Microsoft makes
sure their products 'work'. While old, still funny. You see awhile
back the boys of Redmond invited dozens of Wall Street bigwigs to see
an early version of Vista in action.

Here's the result of years of work. Very funny!

You're so full of hatred for all things MS you can no longer contain
yourself.
And its over the fact that you're simply too stupid and too incompetent
to figure out how to proper install Vista.
You're pathetic!
