I recently installed windows 7 RC and I like it for the most part. But if I put my SD card from my digital camera into the computer I can only copy or read the files, it will not give me the option to delete the files. Does anyone know how to change the settings to allow the computer to delete...

Hey, far be it for me to piddle on anyone's parade and having worked on computers since the KayPro days, I am a fan of anything new. I like MS as a company, albeit their money making schemes sometimes tick me off. Anyway, I like XP, that has been around since 2001 and now that we have Service...
