hi! im a newbie, i just got my powerbook 2 months back, but i am having problems right now with it. i'm trying to empty my trash, im actually trying to delete wmp, but whenever i try to empty my trash, a window stating the "cannot delete because wmphelp.htm is locked" so i cant empty my trash because of this. can anyone give me advice? i cant even delete it using secure empty trash. thanks!
 
Select the file, go up to File... Get Info, and uncheck the "Locked" checkbox.
