If you want to delete folders, go to windows explorer.

No trev - ought to be able to right click and delete folders from programs, at least if you have Admin right's or a policy is not blocking this or worse yet a virus or spyware.

Yes you are in the right area unless a file is corrupt, haven't modified theme or shell have you? That I need to know. What exactly are you trying to delete by name just for a clue? - Not some kinda Porn crud is it? I remember seeing this somewhere but have to look around.

open gpedit (Start-->Run-->gpedit.msc) and look at your settings.
