Okay, this time thw site showed. It must have been down temporarly.
However, so far at least, Ffunlock has not been able to find the
frozen folder.
Let me explain what happened (as I remember it). I have XP (MCE) on a
64 bit, dual Dell Dimension C521.
I needed to unzip a file so I downloaded WinZip and used it to unzip
the file. In the process WinZip asked me to create a new folder to
hold the decompressed files. I named the new folder "VOCABERSE" for
no particular reason. The folder VOCABERSE was created as a
subdirectory to the folder I was in. That folder was "DOWNLOAD".
Here my memory is a tiny bit fuzzy.
I soon came to realize that VOCABERSE was different. When I put the
unzipped files in their permanent location I tried to delete VOCABERSE
but it could not be deleted (nor renamed, nor moved). I had other
stuff in DOWNLOAD that I did not want to lose so I created a new
folder named DOWNLOADS (with an S so as not to duplicate DOWNLOAD) I
moved all my stuff over to DOWNLOADS and tried to delete the DOWNLOAD
which held VOCABERSE. I couldn't delete it.
I tried in safemode: no luck. Then I had an inspiration: Using
COMMAND I navigated thru the DOS window (if that's what it's called)
until I found the offending DOWNLOAD with subdirectory VOCABERSE.
Here I think I typed "Del DOWNLOAD". Maybe I should have used RD, but
I wasn't sure if I was in DOS or what. Anyway the named directories
disappeared and I thought I had done a great job of solving the
problem.
But the next time I tried to empty the recycle bin in Windows the
directory DOWNLOAD showed up and refused to go away. I got an error
message that Windows could not find VOCABERSE.
Neither can Ffunlock find VOCABERSE. Neither can the Windows search
function find it. It evidently exists only in the recycle bin hiding
in the untouchable directory DOWNLOAD.
I used system restore to go back four days, but no luck! DOWNLOAD was
still there, so I reversed the restore action and that's where I am
now.
Is there some way to get rid of the recycle bin? I have heard of
people losing their recycle bin and wanting to know how to get it
back. Maybe if I could get rid of it and have Windows bring it back
it would return empty.
Actually, I can live with DOWNLOAD in the recycle bin if I have to.
It's just an irritant, nothing critical. Other stuff in the bin goes
away when I empty it.
I have uninstalled WinZip. I found EasyZip which is simpler to use
and is free. You have to pay for WZ after a period.
I am sorry this post is so long. I didn't want to leave anything out
that might give a clue.
Thanks for your patience.
