Hi Clint --- With my using Windows 98, this might have nothing to do with
your situation, but then maybe.

>From Clint
<snip>I just noticed moments ago when I tried to delete a folder inside
another folder, that I could NOT delete the folder. I closed the folders and
tried again, still couldn't delete it.<snip> --- Clint

Regarding folders that cannot be deleted, seldom but it's happened, I get an
empty folder in my root C:\ that doesn't delete as it should. I then use the
Registry as follows:

1. Go to:
Hkey_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\MyComp
uter\NameSpace
2. Expand the NameSpace key.
3. The unknown folder will be one of the subkeys
4. Delete it, and close the Registry . and the empty folder is thus deleted.

>From Meir:
Clint, I just checked, and every time I open a new I.E. page, a new
"explorer.exe" open's in the task manager i.e. three IE windows open 3
"explorer.exe" files in the task manager, when a close a window it closes in
the task manager Hope this helps --- Meir

When opening I.E. (Internet Explorer), I don't see any "explorer.exe" listed
in Task Manager; I see "Microsoft Internet Explorer" (which is not
explorer.exe). In fact, I never even see an extension in that Ctrl/Alt/Del
window.

The other "explor...'s" I might get in Task Manager is when opening a folder
(which I have configured for "Explore" rather than "Open") ... then I get
"Exploring" with the name of the folder. And the third is the generic one
that is never removed, "Explorer" (touching that is a no-no) --- Harold
