Hi:

I have Windows XP Media Center.

I have attempted to delete my downloaded digital photo images from "my
pictures" folder after copying to CD and have realized that each time I
delete an image from the folder another copy is generated. I now have a
numerous amount of photo copies on my computer that I'd like to get rid of
but haven't been able to. Please, can anyone tell me what I can do to stop
this. I'd like to be able to delete all of the images on my hard drive after
I archive them.

Common problem seen in these newsgroups. You are (unintentionally) moving
the mouse at the wrong moment when selecting the pictures. Windows is
interpreting that movement as a request to create a new copy.

Suggestion: To delete, click to select a file. Then press Delete on the
keyboard. If selecting multiple files next to each other in a list:
carefully click on first file. Release mouse button (do *not* move mouse
until button is fully released). Press and hold Shift on keyboard. Click
last file in list. Release key and mouse button. Press Delete on keyboard.
 
One can use Ctrl + Space to select too and use Ctrl + Arrow to move the cursor.
