0 byte folder: cannot delete it

[Scott]

I have a folder that its properties come up as 0 bytes. I cannot be deleted.
How can I kill it?

Scott;
What folder is it?
There are some System Folders such as Xerox and Front Page that should
be left alone.

i have a similar frontpage folder in program files. can u explain me what
this xerox and front page folders are for?

Those two empty folders are standard with XP. Just leave them
alone and ignore them as they cannot be deleted.

This from Paul Thurrott, a Windows expert...

"Both of those folders are actually installed by Windows XP and can't
(at least theoretically) be removed. The FrontPage folder is for backwards
compatibility--some versions of Windows 9x included a FrontPage Express
program for Web editing and it seems that some apps rely on that folder
being there for some reason. The Xerox folder is used by the imaging
software in XP, as Microsoft licensed some of the tech from Xerox. My
understanding is that it's used as scratch space."

It's a left profile folder when WarcraftIII was un-installed.

It's a left profile folder when WarcraftIII was un-installed.

You may need to edit your registry, looking for and removing any items
left from the old "WarCraft III". After the Keys/Data is removed and the
system restarted, you should be able to remove the folder.

Uncle Bill uses them to store your personal details and your habbits which is transferred to him perodically. He has got the biggest database in the world to comapre with his bank balance!

Also, since SP2, FBI/CIA makes use of some inormation to catch terrorists or Anti-Bush (or anti-NewLabour in the UK) voters and execute them before they do any damage. Their way of execution is to send them to Iraq and once they are there, all personal security is removed so muslims will finish the job. No blame on Bush!!

Hope this helps.

In snipped the utter lies and absurdities.

That is the most blatant disregard for just about everything in and out of
the Windows environment that I can't believe even someone as childish and
outright ignorant as you could push it out to the world.

David,

If you would be so kind, would you email me at your earliest convenience?
If you do not wish for me to know your 'real' email, feel free to create a
temporary address at whatever free email provider you wish.
