i can't delete this strange and unnamed folder:
http://www.geocities.com/maz_jalili/w-e.gif

1) notice that the folder only shows up on the right side, not the left
2) i can't delete it, cut it, or click-through to it
3) my folder options say do not show hidden or system files

what is it? how do i get rid of it?

thanks in advance...

Every time I click on it I get a different picture what were you playing with looks like some kind of Adobie stuff???? cause when I clicked on it instead of my cursur or pointer I got a hand like in Adobie.
basically it's a web site I really don't know what you are asking???
Have you run a virus check on this

Ok, the unamed system folder?

Anything installed/uninstalled lately?

What version are you running...(kind of looks like 98 to me but not quite sure)?

YODA - i'm not sure what you mean about getting a different picture each time you click on it. it's just a screen shot (GIF) of my windows explorer. i have run a virus check and came up clean.

MJC - i'm running windows 98 and i have been installing and uninstalling some programs. mostly small utilites from download.com.

thanks again...

Ok, I bet that one of the utilities you installed either didn't completely uninstall or it created a system folder...have you tried renaming it?

Also can you remembeer what you installed and what you removed?

YODA - you're looking at the add that geocities/yahoo puts up there so that the service remains free. look at the actual gif that i have on the website.

MJC - i can't do anything with that folder, rename, delete, cut, paste, make shortcut - nothing. it's pretty frustrating, but i guess it is not doing any harm there (i hope).

maybe it will go away by itself one day http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif
