If you have experienced some problems like I have, in that Windows XP so very kindly restricts you from changing or deleting some of your own files in Your Documents, even if you're an administrator, then disabling windows file protection temporarily may allow you to delete them.
Simply find the Key SFCDisable in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and edit it the value to FFFFFF9D.
Note: If you want to re-enable File Protection, just re-set the value to 0.
