I have a folder on the desktop where I once put a copy of my start menu. Even after deleting most of the material in it, and after renaming the remaining folders tofolder, and cannot be deleted. What do I do?

Carl Mercer [EMAIL PROTECTED] says: "Harold there is a small program named "Delete on Reboot". You can Google it and download. It does the job for me. I didn't know how to post directly to PCWorks so if this works for you would you please post it there for all to see. Thanks, Carl "

Thank you, Carl, I found it here: --- http://www.snapfiles.com/get/removereboot.html --- I installed it. Problem: I think it only works with files; not with folders.

Carl, regarding posting to PCWorks, just click the reply button, if in the digest mode, delete the subject, post what you want, and add the appropriate subject to the subject box. If it is an individual email, I guess you can leave the subject alone. Right now, regarding my own postings, I don't know why what's coming in on my Outlook Express has a lot of double and triple sapces between paragraphs.

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

Yes, Vic (the posting looks familiar). It worked very well for Win98 when I had a folder in my root c-drive, which is where I had the problem way back when. Well, I tried it hiere in XP this time going to that same key and also trying the desktop key; doesn't work the same --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List =================
