Ok here it is:

I created a folder place some files in it on the desktop. I had it there for a couple of day. I restarted the PC a few times throughout that period. Now last night i tried to delete the folder but the mouse symbol changes as if its loading but nothing happens i checked the task manager and eveything is normal the explorer process seems normal. to stop from loading or whatever its doing i end the explorer.exe process and start it again and everything is normal. I can go into the folder but cant delete it or see its properties if i right click the same thing happens.

Now from the command line i can rename it. I can move it which i did to temp and try to clean the system it was still there. I created a new folder and placed it there the parent folder now behaves the same cant do anythign with parent folder. when i try and delete it form the command line it say it did but its still there.

I created a new user with admin privildges and tried to rename it works but if i try and delete it from the command line its says the folder can not be found although its there and i can rename it.

Does anyone know what is going on. My antivirus software is pretty up to date. i have TDS-3 on my pc so it doesnt seem like its a malicious thing.

If anyone has any info

Im using XP pro

thanks alot
