Hey gang,
As you may remember, I reinstalled Windows XP after getting some combination of infections that I couldn't bring under control. Everything went peachy, but I have one thing that I can't fix: The folder that would not die.
It's on my storage drive, not my C:, and I can't remember what it was originally called. I've checked its permissions, scanned it with NOD32, tried Killbox, tried re-naming it (successfully), tried creating a new folder with the same name and replacing it, etc. Frankly, I've tried everything I can think of short of re-formatting the entire drive (which would be a bother, since it's a 500 gig drive nearly full of music, educational videos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography), Steam and a lot of other hoggish apps).
Ideas? How should I destroy my empty, undead folder?
