Hi,

You may need to set the folder options to see hidden and system folders. Go
to the Control Panel/Folder Options, and on the View tab, set the options so
you can see hidden and system files. Specifically:

Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"

I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types". Then delete the temp fildes under local settings for the user
accounts.

Also, start/run eventvwr.msc, check the system and application logs for
error messages. Post back with any that seem relevant.

Hi Jack,

The folder should be "C:\Documents and Settings", not just "C:\Documents",
try typing it into the address bar in Windows Explorer. The file that won't
delete is probably just one in use by a program (Zone Alarm is one that
comes to mind). Open the error in the event viewer, click the link to oca to
see if it brings up anything in Help & Support.
