I use a stand-alone desktop computer. In the c:\documents and settings\all
users\application data\microsoft\crypto\rsa\machinekeys folder there are over
300 files with dates ranging from 13 August 2005 to 13 March 2007.
I do not use any cryptography intentionally and do not understand where
these files came from. I have been able to move some of these files to an
"Old Files" folder prior to deleting them but for the majority I receive an
error message saying "Access is denied".
Is it possible to remove these files? If so, how?

You should not be deleting files from this folder.

Why? How did they get there and what are they for?
