 |
|
I was making sure that Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera had the same favorites, and while I was changing folder locations in IE, I switched the contents of one folder to another. But I can't delete the folder. I get the message below. (The censored part is the user name.)
How can I delete it (64-bit, so I can't use Unlocker)?

You could attempt to delete it via the cmd - dunno if it will work though.
Refresh your folder 1st.

| In case you forgot how to read, I clearly wrote that Unlocker doesn't work on 64-bit computers...

CMD= command prompt
Try this:
| Code: | | rd "C:\Users\(your username)\Favorites\You're the Man Now, Dog!\What is Love" /s /q |
Unlocker is your best bet though, too bad you can't use it.

He is talking about the Command Prompt.
Start>Run>Type CMD.exe

Linux live cd saves you. Works 100%. Mount your ntfs partition and delete your file/folder.
Blame NTFS for being stupid fs.

I'm using Vista 64-bit, which won't run Unlocker anyway...

Try renaming it. It looks like it has a period at the end.
