   Problem with deleting folders   
   24 Apr 06 14:42:00   
   
   From: icebergs@nycap.rr.com   
      
   I am trying to clean up my desktop and can't delete a folder. I can OPEN the   
   folder and then delete the CONTENTS but the folder remains.   
      
   Can  anyone help me solve this pesky problem?   
      
   When I highlight and click delete, an error message comes up and says that   
   "It is being used by another person or program" (WHICH IT IS NOT) and "Close   
   any program that might be using the file and try again."   
      
   I've done everything I can think of (close down, reboot, close all programs,   
   turn off only other computer on the network, etc.) Nothing seems to work.   
      
   Can anyone help?
