Not just this file wiedzminkolaj.adv but all the other ones.
what do i do?? i just delete everything or what, whats even the use for those files?? The game is installed in steam in a different partition.
It's a well-known problem which is nothing to do with the game, but the result of doing something you should not have done to your filesystem. What you did, or what a program you ran did (TW is blameless in this), is change a permission that should not have been changed. The most common way to do this is to try to grant yourself access to everything under your Users or the All Users folder. Sounds like a good idea, right? No, it exposes a horrific kludge that Microsoft made a long time ago, and it breaks your application data folder structure.
There are two "folders" (actually, they're special shortcut-like things called "junctions") that can be involved:
C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Local\Application Data
C:\Users\All Users\Application Data
In your case, it's the latter: you will find it at C:\Users\All Users\Application Data
For both of these, the owner must be set to SYSTEM, and the permissions must be set to "Deny Everyone List folder/read data". Here's what the correct settings look like:
You need to:
Restore those settings.
Try to delete the multiple instances of the files.
Promise yourself never to mess with permissions of folders under Users folders again.
Unfortunately, you may end up needing to reformat your hard drive if you cannot delete the files.
