Cant open folders

[Stephen]

Hi there

I'm running XP Home. All of a sudden there are certain folders I cant
open.delete.rename etc! I have changed NOTHING recently including any admin
rights. I just get the message "Access denied".

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do? At the very least I would like to
delete these folders.

Thanks a lot

Stephen

Do you know how dangerous to post asking people about Deleting Folders
WITHOUT giving any indication of the names of the folders?

Someone may just show/tell you without knowing that by deleting that folder,
they basically destroyed your system.

Pls, help us help you ... carefully. Last thing you want is some newbie
telling you ... Go ahead and delete it.
