Guest Moi Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Hello experts. A little while ago, I accidentally created a 'New Folder' on the desktop only. Now I can't delete it as it says it is a system file that Windows needs. Clearly it doesn't as it doesn't appear via search anywhere else (with hidden files displayed). How do I get rid of it? ###thanks

Guest Moi Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: Problem re New Folder Thanks for that Andrew, but no success I'm afraid. I assume you meant 'send to my documents'. I did this and it was simply copied there, staying on the desktop itself. 'Opene' allows me to open it into a web page creator only (in my case it is Pagemill). There it shows it is not empty but has URLs and errors and the like. Still puzzled...
