(1) Does turning off your virus scanner's auto-System Scan make a
difference?

(2) Are you IE6, & are these LARGE files or folders full of files &
folders?

(3) Does it happen in a "clean boot" situation?
"START button, Run, MSConfig", & turn off Config.sys, Autoexec.bat
& the Startup Group to achieve a clean boot. (When those are turned back
on, all items inside will get checked. Therefore, note what may be
unchecked first, if anything.)

(4) REN & DEL can always be done at a Windows DOS box, with no ill
effect.

Naturally, you will not sue,
