Thanks, Gerry ... I think we're on the right trail, except we are in the wrong part of the Explorer window. This
mysterious unnamed folder is NOT in the root of the C-drive, BUT, it is (when looking at the Explorer window) in the
right pane where all the contents of "My Computer" are listed; I should have made that clear. What's most strange to
me is that it does NOT show up in the left pane.


I'm sending you a JPG of what opens upon clicking "My Computer" ... what you will see is that in the right pane, I
have listed the usual icons: (A:/), (C:/), (D:/), (E:/), Printers, Control Panel, (that unnamed empty folder that
won't get deleted; certainly not a "usual" icon), and Dial-Up Networking.


I'm also sending you a JPG of the DOS window showing the contents of the root C-drive (including invisible files) ...
after typing at the C:/> prompt: dir/w/on/p <enter> and after typing in (for the invisible files) dir/w/ah/on/p
<enter> both showing a total of 30 "objects" which is exactly what I have in the root C-drive, invisible files shown
(I keep all my downloaded programs are in Program Files). This mysterious unnamed folder is not here because it is
one step higher.


I'm not familiar with DOS (I'm a seven year newbie); so now the question is, how do I get one step higher in the DOS
window where the icons: (A:/), (C:/), (D:/), (E:/), Printers, Control Panel, and Dial-Up Networking ... are listed
(hopefully along with the unnamed folder)?

Sorry for the delay but I haven't been online in nearly a week. New home, new city, new life all so exiting that I've given over to bicycling some 200+ miles 5 days a week. Retirement is great!

Use the CD (change directory) command. Type cd /? for help

Sorry but my procmail filters automatically strip attachments so I didn't
see your images. You won't be able to send them to me. If you have
a web site, hen place them there.

The ideas I presented should help you to locate and eliminate the unnamed folder.
