Folders won't delete

[PCInfoman]

I unzipped something I got over the net and it created a folder on my hard drive. I know it is not a virus as I checked. However, when I try to delete the folder, it says "Access Denied". The same thing happens when I try to go into the folder.

Can somebody please tell me how to force delete the folder? Maybe a particular program to use?

That is fine and dandy, but how do I do this. I am already logged in as the administrator.

D'Oh! I did not read what you wrote. Thanks for the info. I will read it now.
