Try logging out and back in and then deleting. Tom

I have ScanMail moving infected files. One of the files that was moved into the \VIRUS area was a FUN.MP3 that is listed as a short cut. I cannot delete due to a sharing violation (believe ScanMail still has locked). Once you try to delete or look at the attributes, your NT workstation jumps up to 100% CPU utilization for EXPLORER. Even disconnecting the mapped drive does not clear EXPLORER.EXE and the only way to get your workstation back is to reboot. I duplicated this on 3 NT workstations. Two running NT 4.0 sp6a one running sp5. Took me 3 days to determine what was causing my workstation to go crazy. I sure won't clear the areas from the server console. I can just see me killing the box!
