How do I delete a song that won't allow me to and says it is writer-protected

Is this file on your hard drive?

Nope, on my mp3 player

try this

This works if your mp3 player or usb flash device works fine with other computers.



1) Click Start->Run.

2)Type regedit and hit enter.

3)Click file and click Export and give a file name and save. Just to rollback if you want.

4)Click on the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

5)Click on the plus sign next to SYSTEM

6)Click on the plus sign next to CurrentControlSet

7)Click on the plus sign next to Control

8)Click on the plus sign next to StorageDevicePolicies

9)Write click on WriteProtect and click modify.

10)If the value data is 1 change it 0 and click OK.

11)Repeat steps 7 to 10 for ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 .

12)Close Registry editor and restart the computer.

I have used this once before and it worked, but be careful in the regitry.
if these keys are not there, don't make them and ignore, if they are there, make the changes and save this text in case it dows not work and you have to change back to the way they were before and then have to look for another option

If it is on your MP3 it is probably a WAV file --

You should be able to delete the file on your MP3

Well, I got fustrated and then found a cool button, and I reformatted the whole mp3 player... but how do I get rid of it on my hard drive now?
