Hello,
I am wondering if there is any tutorial/link for vb/c#/C++ to show me how to delete files and folders that are lockedby windows 7, to bypass ownership and errors such as "you must have the permission of ", I have downloaded a small free utility which is doing it correct but I am wondering how they do it.

If you use Unlocker, you would see that unlocker just try to find which process is locking a folder, and terminate that process. It's simpler as alternative if you fail when taking ownership (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED)

you need to take ownership of the files protected by the OS.
