He can't open that folder... MoveOnBoot won't remove folder. It removes files only.

I tried all the things you said delete it in safe mode, open from the command prompt (that's one under the start menu right?), and that program. No of them worked.

[Broni]

open from the command prompt (that's rune under the start menu right?)

Did you go Start, typed: cmd, hit Enter, and Command Prompt window opened?
Did you navigate to the folder in question, and were you able to see the file in question?

[AcesMonkey]

Yeah that wasn't what I was doing... How do you navigate through the files with the command box?
I know how to open it just not navigate.

[Broni]

To make things simple, you can use "cd" command to walk around your computer. After entering a command, you hit Enter, which will take you to next line. This is an example:



or you can use a whole path, at once:



In the above example, I used dir command to display all files in "Backup 9" folder.
Lower/upper case letters don't matter.

[AcesMonkey]

Alright that wasn't what I was doing, but when I did it the right way it was weird. I got to the folder that contained what I think is the bad file, but when I entered dir to see what files were in the folder, the command box just closed out.

[Broni]

Try same thing in Safe Mode.
If this doesn't work, and you don't think, you have any important files in that directory, navigate to that directory, and type in:
del *.*
It'll delete all files in that directory. You may perform it in Safe Mode, as well.

[AcesMonkey]

Yeah it did the same thing again, I tried deleting it. That didn't work either.

[Broni]

You tried it in Safe Mode?

[AcesMonkey]

Yeah I was in safe mode.

I've never used this program, but I just got it, and it looks better, then "MoveOnBoot", because apparently it's able to remove whole folder, while MOB is not.

[patio]

Yep.
I had forgotten about it until i scanned thru my vast utilities archive...

[AcesMonkey]

I didn't have the time to try this out for a while, but I finally did. I can't use this because I can't right click on the file to try to delete it. Windows explorer just freezes.

What is the path of the folder?

C:\??
