Here is my question. Say you downloaded a movie file and when u attempted to open it the it wouldn't open and it won't allow you to delete it or play it and the name suggests questionable material. How would one go about removing said material?

That was probably one of those damaged files.
It doesn't actually contain any questionable material.
You can delete it with this thing ==> UNLOCKER 1.8.5 BY CEDRICK 'NITCH' COLLOMB

Thanks for the file. I downloaded it and got rid of one file i had that wouldn't delete. But the files i am talking about do absolutely nothing. When I try to delete them or play them nothing happens. when i right click them the only options I get are open, play with or in multiple programs or send to. And none of the options work. Any advice?

Highlight them and hold the shift key down while pressing the delete key.
If it fails, Unlocker will pop up and give you the opportunity to unlock and delete them.
If even that fails, Unlocker will give you the option to have Windows automatically delete
it on the next bootup, and that never fails. ;]

Oh, and sometimes renaming with any useless extension like .tmp makes them easier to delete too.

unfortunately holding shift while hitting the delete key did nothing but make the icon blink. And it won't even give me the option to rename it.

If such basic functions are disabled, it's time to get another antivirus scanner and some new antispyware tools.

Move out all the good files and try to delete the whole folder at once.

If Unlocker never did pop up, did you disable the helper app?

Nope. and I just got a new version of pc cillen

Have you tried Safe Mode? Maybe some active program is interfering with Explorer and Safe
Mode might let Windows start without it.

In any case you do have a serious problem and you should get somebody to put hands on and fix it.

Hi Forum Members

As if to illustrate my point of over a week ago:

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/288638-post128.html

I have come across this BBC article about a photograph that was seized by police from an art gallery:

BBC NEWS | Magazine | What's the difference between art and porn?

The collection of photographs are owned by Elton John and were taken by an eminent photographer Nan Goldin.

The authorities are currently trying to decide whether to prosecute or not.
