I have a JPG image shown but when I try to do anything
with it, primarily DELETE, Win XP tells me "it can't
be found. It has a pathname, but of course that does
no good if there's no object. How do I get rid of the
listing?
Thanks...

Different things to try:

1. Delete the file in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the
F8 key as the computer is starting up. Use your arrow key to select Safe
Mode.

2. If #1 didn't work, try the free Unlocker utility.

3. If #1 and 2 didn't work, run a Chkdsk /f.

Thank you Malke,
I don't have time right now but it is a straight
forward recipe, I did click on Run "chkdsk/F" and
found I don't have chkdsk on this computer. I'll
Google for it and get it installed.

Hello,

You need to have a space between the 'K' and '/':
CHKDSK /F

Thank you for the information.

When the operation failed the first time I ran another
session *with* the "<sp> /F" I finally told Chkdsk to
run the *next time the computer started*, I just
finished that run and it appeared to do a complete
scan. Nothing was reported from that scan. Is there
some way to find out the results?

Look in the Software log (Winlogon) in the Event Viewer.

Hi John,
How do I find it? I found several copies of
Windows/system32/winlogon.exe but don't know what to
do with them. I found the Event Viewer but not sure
what to look for. I do find

Hi Don,

"Shown" where? What listing? Is it something in a folder? An actual picture
being displayed in some sort of viewer program? Something in Temporary
Internet Files? Or maybe something that was in the History folder that got
deleted without updating the index.dat? What is the file name? What is the
exact message you get when trying to delete it?

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the response.

I tried to view the file in an image viewer/editor, in
this case Paint Shop Pro. It is simply an item
entitled, "Home.jpg". The exact message I saw was the
typical, "File not found."

I don't remember the other details because we had a
power outage and I had to take the computer to a
repair shop and the repairman's comment was that "CC
Cleaner" found and removed many errors.

I hope that answers your questions.
Don
