Are you getting any errors? any messages? What exactly is happening when you go to turn off your computer? Also, what type of computer do you have, desktop or laptop, brand? Please give us as much information as possible s o we can help.
At a guess, I would say that the system is still using the file you downloaded, thus why you cannot delete it, or turn off your computer.

when I press the buttun "turn off " it isn't getting anything... no messages or other errors...... but there is a little noise in the system block..
but I am not using that file I downloaded today..and when i press delete it gets the error: "can't delete..access is denied..Make shure the disk isn't full or write protected and that the file isn't currently in use"

and also I can't make restart

today I downloaded several files, and after this I can't delete one of them , and the main problem is that I can't turn off my computer... why ?? does anyone know this?please help me P.S sorry for my bad English

try to show the "hidden files".. I hope you know how to do that
Enter "my computer".
on the top, press "tools".
then press (not sure what it is in english, but it should be something like:"Folder Settings").
then press on the second tab.
then press on "Show hidden files".
(when i try to see administrators documents, i can.. maybe you can't because you are logged in as a guest. My files isn't hidden.)

YOU ARE GENIUS!!!
IT WORKED
I FOUND MY DOCUMENT FOLDER
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

hmm.. when you say administrator account, do you mean the account that you created when you installed windows, or the account that Windows created (The real administrator account)? If you mean the one that you created, you can try to login with the real administrator account (if you have welcome screen, try to press ctrl+alt+delete 2 times).. because if I am right, the real adminisrator account has acces to all files on the computer.. else. if you mean that the real administrator account is gone, I'm afraid that you have to re-install windows (not 100% though)..

But there is some programs that can restore gone files (thats how the police can catch illegal downloaders that have erased their files ). you can find free softwares on google.. But if the first thing i said didn't work, tell me, and i'll figure out something else.

 

OT:Sorry for OT, but can any mod/admin please move this file to its correct forum.. I don't like it beeing here, dunno why:P

I think that it is account created by Windows -(The real administrator account) because it hadn't any password..

yes I think the real administrator account is gone

I can only take a guess but here are my assumptions. The first administrator account is the default “Administrator” account that came with XP. You also have the fast user pick welcome screen (you donât have to press ctl-alt-del and then enter a username and password).

 

By default when you create an alternate administrator account the default Administrator account is not shown on the welcome screen. Microsoft assumes that you created this other administrator account when you first installed Windows so it usually is not a problem. (As a side note you usually have to provide this as the last step during an install so I donât know how this happened either unless you have Home Edition or a pre-SP2 release).

 

Not to fear because all your files are still there and the account is still active. If all you need are the files then you can access them by browsing to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents. You can also change the settings of having the Administrator account shown on the welcome screen by either editing the registry (https://www.petri.com/add_the_administrator&%2339;s_account_to_the_welcome_screen_in_xp_pro) or using TweakUI (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/). I would recommend just copying the files out of the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents folder and calling it a day. If you still want to see the account then get TweakUI, it has many additional features that you may find interesting.

I have never had administrator account on the welcome screen.. I just turned on computer.. without any password...

but now there is only that admin name that I created yesterday

 

 

\Documents and Settings\Administrator - when I enter here there isn't my documents, only desktop, start menu, shared and etc.

 

In control panel there isn't administrator shown ...only the guest and the second account name

First of all, the obvious question : where are your backups ? (HA HA HA, sorry, bit it's time to remember about that).Now, I'm pretty convinced that the user has been distroyed, but that the files are still somewhere in your computer. So, do you remember the name of one of files ?
Then, right click on "my computer", "search", and type the part you remember of your file name, and it should tell you where the files are.

I have tried searching but in vain

I guess that you forgot the name and/or the password of the first admin account.Simply, go to the control pannel, users, you will see the list of the users, and look the exact name of the first admin.
Then, logout the second account and try again the first admin account with the correct name and password.
If this does not work, go back to the second admin account and go again to the users control pannel and change the first admin user password. Now it should work.

I often browse ebay, It's interesting to see what is for sale, although I have never bought anything from it. I just don't want to go through the bother. My father deleted his paypal account a while ago because he feared he would be scammed, as you can tell he is extremely paranoid.

I don't really care for tatoos myself, but getting a gun tatoo? I'd definately prefer something else, it's also extremely stupid for people to trace a gun for a tatoo, I'm sure a professional tatooist would have a premade image of a gun that he could tatoo on. I'd probably never get a tatoo though. Sounds too painful and permanent for my liking, if I wanted it off I'd need a skin graft!

agree
