Hey, im having a problem deleting this folder. It gives me the message
"This is no longer in C:\" but its still there. I did the extended Disc
Cleanup but it didn't delete it. Any solutions?

See that QUOTE button in the lower-right corner????

USE IT.

HUH?? What are you talking about. I understand what you say but it makes no sense. The Post by Ramesh shows no issues as far as the posting is concerned. Is yours set properly??
