It worked like a charm (see below). Original problem � Here is a picture
of my explorer window with that folder that won't open, has no name, and
won't delete. It has no adverse effect on the Windows98 operation.

Vic said � Go to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

Expand the NameSpace key. The unknown folder will be one of the subkeys
and it should be easy to figure out which one it is. Then simply delete
it ... Vic

AND That did it, Vic ... it was a key that had Web Folder in the right
pane (something I thought I got rid of some time ago by deleting all
references to "web folders" in the registry ... seems I missed that key.
Or maybe it generated itself after I had deleted all those references.
Strange I should have missed it.

I�m sure Gerry�s idea of deleting it using DOS would have worked; too
bad I know nothing about DOS. It stands for the �damn old story� of
people who came into computers after MS gave us the friendly interface
(if that�s the word).

Follow up question is: How would one know one should take the steps you
suggested? Where does one find this information? Or is that a
professional secret :) � Harold B. in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY.
