Subject: Re: changing permissions in windows XP using ruby!!

hi,

i am still get confused. but... maybe...

require 'fileutils'

FileUtils.rm( path )
or
FileUtils.rm_f( path )

... would help you. 
it's worth to try. on my pc, they worked as i expected.

let me put the additional information.
FileUtils.chmod( ... ) also did not work. it seems to be same as
File.chmod.
