everytime i try to remove kazaa from my computer a message is displayed
saying "cannot remove folder, directory is not empty." what does that mean
and how do i empty the directory? i don't have any music files from kazaa on
my computer. i don't have a clue what to do.

Kazaa uses building in network that drops applets on your computer and blocks
from removing the software!! My advise is to install this program from
Microsoft and let it remove all regedit subkeys that will help you removed
Kazza; if this doesn't work just renistall Windows XXX.

Go here and get KazaaBeGone..
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/kazaabegone.zip

"Warning: This version has a bug that can cause your Internet connection to
be broken when removing New.Net, WebHancer or CommonName. An update is being
worked on. If you still want to use KazaaBegone, download LSPFix to fix your
Internet connection (download it before you run KazaaBegone, of course)."

First get LSP fix here in case you need it..
