Hello again,
Ben Moore
Another way would be to figure out exactly where in your file system the
folder is and then boot to dos and delete it. Make sure you are deleting
the correct folder.
Response
You forget that most people, myself included) starting with computers during
the last ten years never had to use DOS. The one desktop folder that has
everything that is actually on the desktop is here:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop"
In Win98, there was one "desktop" folder and that was in the Windows
directory. Just to show how complicated everything now is is, here in XP, a
"Desktop" folder can also be found in these four different places:
1. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
2. C:\Windows\profiles\all users\desktop
3. C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
4. Windows/Desktop (note that this one has a forward slash)
Windows 1, 2, and 3 all have scattered files and programs (very incomplete
lists; some having nothing to so with the actual desktop). With the above
information, maybe you can give specific directions as to what to do in a
DOS window to access ... "C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop"
... where I have all the "undeletable folders" a, b, c, and d in one folder
that I now have named: "Try to delete" (which name I cannot even change) ---
