I got sick of Windows media player so I dragged it to the trash. Then Finder wouldn't let me empty it because 50000 WMP files were "locked". What do I do?
DAMN YOU MICROSOFT!

adk said:Ok, that worked, but thanks to stupid WMP it wouldn't let me change all contents of some folders so I had to go in one by one and unlock 4 billion files. the moral of the story, NEVER download WMP.

TMA said:I think it works if you just hold down alt and then empty trash, but I might be wrong.
Either way, this is so much easier than sifting through folders and packages trying to find the culprit(s).

I can't believe how Apple makes such a great QT for windows but M$ can't do the same in return. Whatever though
