Win7: Cannot delete a file
If there is a Windows 7 newsgroup, I cannot find it.
In one of my directories is a file that cannot be deleted. It is zero bytes big, and when I try to delete it, Windows 7 (Home Premium x64) tells me that it cannot because it's not found. The error dialog is titled "Item not found" and the error message is: Could not find this item This is no longer located in {name of directory}. Verify the item's location and try again This is followed by the name of the file and base properties (type, size, and date modified). There is no file extension, but there is the dot-separator that goes between the name and the extension. If I try to rename it, I get the same error. I had scheduled and run a full boot-time scandisk, and no errors were found. My system is kept reasonably defragmented with automatic defragging when idle, and no viruses or other malware are found by my security program, Kaspersky Internet Security v9, which keeps itself up to date. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org Double ROT13 encoded for your protection "Take my advice and go back to the time you came from.

Apparently Microsoft has decided that web-based forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision, not mine. However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup: alt-windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but here's one free news server that does: aioe.org -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

... If there is a Windows 7 newsgroup, I cannot find it. Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org I've seen alt.windows7.general and a few in other languages, but not on the Microsoft news server. Microsoft seems to be moving in the direction of less newsgroups support for newer software, and switching to website support instead. However, they don't seem to be making any effort toward telling those of us who don't have Windows 7 yet which websites. Maybe they want to restrict our information on whether Windows 7 has any problems until after we pay for it. Robert Miles |
