Hello Kimsan, I don't know if you have already resolved the problem of getting rid of the folder, but if not here is something you can try:
1. Go to the location of the folder and make sure it is selected. 2. Use the shift+f10 (right click) context menu and choose to "copy as path." Either do that or make sure you know the exact path such as: c:\users\Kimsan\downloads\tech notes. 3. Go under Accessories to the command prompt, use the right click context menu and choose to Run as administrator. If you get the UAC prompt, use Alt+Y to answer yes. 4. At the command prompt read the current line to make sure it is c:\windows\system32. 5. Type in RD followed by a space. 6. Either use shift+f10 to bring up the context menu and choose to paste the path you copied or type in the exact path. 7. Make sure to use a space after the last character in the path. 8. After the space type in a forward slash followed by the letter S and press enter key. 9. You might need to wait a couple seconds for the prompt asking if you are sure. When it appears press Y followed by enter key. 10. Type Exit at the prompt to return to normal Windows operation. I hope you get this resolved. Take care.

Highlight the folder and cut it with control + x and than reboot your computer and it should be gone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kimsan" <kimsans...@aol.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 8:23 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] deleting a folder > RJ: > I have a folder called tech emails in both my documents folder and my > downloads folder.
