If you have Wayne XPPE disc you can probably delete that folder with
it. I have had issues where I couldn't get a file or folder to delete
and I was able to when I loaded XPPE on. Speaking of...


It won't delete in PE either.  Still trying to figure it out.

Perfect.  Thanks, I try that.

It's a folder in the \windows\temp folder that won't delete.  Where 
can I get FAR?

Have you tried looking at the root in XP explorer? There might be a file
with some naming error in it.  Try to delete the file if it is not of any
value. If that does not work try using a folder utility like FAR to delete
it or rename it.

Also, this could mean the command dir is damaged somehow and you will need
to fix the OS itself. This is rather rare, but I have seen it in the past.

Good luck,

Subject: [H] CHKDSK problem in XP

I'm having an odd problem with an XP computer.  If I go to the root 
directory and type dir /s after awhile I get a bubble message telling 
me that a file is corrupt (no name is given) and I should run 
chkdsk.  If I run chkdsk (on reboot or from PE) it shows no 
problems.  Any ideas what I could try?
