Mikep7779 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Whats the name of the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Are you ripping the CD to this location originally? Once deleted do the contents of the original folder come back? Maybe related to temp files being stored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) Check WMP > Tools > Options > Rip Music [Tab] > Rip Music To This Location.What's the location for your setup?Under the tap "Library" > Monitor Folders [button].Is the folder on your desktop listed amongst the "monitor folders" list. If so can you remove it from there. Does it re-appear on your desktop now? Edited December 27, 2006 by enuffsaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakeem5454 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 enuffsaid- i tried your method but now it just takes longer for it to appear.and the folder is called The Game-DA, there is nothing in the folder now, i took the songs from it and moved it to another place.its just that the folder just doesnt seem to wanna go.

hakeem5454 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 how do i disable simple file sharing or gain full control over the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethanmcf Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Firstly there might be a problem, which i forgot to meantion, you need windows 2000, XP Pro, etc, i dont belive XP Home supports this,but if you go to tools, in any windows, thats showing a folder, such as your documents, then folder options, View, just untick the box that says 'Use Simple File Sharing'. then apply and ok the windows. you should then be able to right click on the folder, click Security, add yourself to the List, you may need to take ownership of the file first, then give yourself full access.also, are you sure this is a folder, and not a shortcut?ThanksEthan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
