Cant access file

[Guest]

I have a file on my C drive which I belive has somehow become corrupt.

If I open Windows Explroer and click on the file name or try to do
properties or try to delete the file I get the message " Windows Explorer has
encountered a problem and needs to close" It generates an error report that
gets sent to Microsoft,

The error signature is :

AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 009d56d6

I have run CHKDSK, no problems found.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try this to delete the file.

Open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
In the command prompt window type:

del (and one space)

Drag the file into the command prompt.
Hit your Enter key.

del is the delete command.

Dragging the file into the command prompt automatically types the path &
file name and adds the parentheses.

One space is needed between del and the path\file name, i.e.

del "C:\Documents and Settings\Wesley P. Vogel\Desktop\New.txt"

Ran SFC and it is OK under my USER ID but still has the problem under 2 other
user ID's. When I try and run sfc under them it asks me to put in the XP
Windows disk and starts windows install and I don't know where to go from
there... thoughts?
