I never use some of the MS default folders in XPHome.
However, each time I uninstall or delete one, they
magically reappear.
These pesky folders are: microsoft frontpage, ms gaming
zone, and net meeting.
Has anyone deleted these successfully?

Thanks, another Gates incurable curse.

works means when it initialises it creates the folder and
holds the folder open, like a file. It looks for any file
operations that match a list of filenames.
WFP can't be turned off unless you conect an external
