Q.  I can not delete these empty (and unwanted) folders with Window XP:

	C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Pinball
	C:\Program Files\MSN Gaming Zone
	C:\Program Files\MSN
	C:\Program Files\Messenger
	C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync
	C:\Program Files\Microsoft Frontpage

It says they are "in use".  I am not using them directly.
How can I delete them?

A.  Boot into Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key when booting.
Then you are able to delete these folders.
