I posted earlier what was causing this. "'Launch folder windows in a separate process' is checked on mine. When you right click it, interesting what it says about it. I thought that's checked by default on XP installs. Maybe it's not, but I don't remember checking it."
As I recall on '98, you have to have explorer.exe running at all times, it should be shown when you cont-alt-del. I can't tell from your email if you commented on that, or if Meir did. Of course '98 is different from XP in this area. Thanks for the delete info, I'll hold on to that the next time it happens. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B." 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 ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
