Roi,

Ughh.. I had this problem some time back where I couldn't delete a file. Let me dig through my notes tonight and see if I can remember.

Off the top of my head... There's a utility (can't remember the name right now but I'll try and remember) that is on the O/S Installation Disk that gives you ABSOLUTE control over files. Goes around the OS and everything. Anyway, you can load & run this EXE and then you can usually delete the directory.

I just need to dig the messages off my laptop at home.

Do me a favor, would you? Send me an email at ddodge@utah-inter.net reminding me to get that information tonoght - if you're unable in the meantime to find it, ok?
