Default [Pending] windows explorer error

Hi guys, whoever can help with this problem will definitely be on my christmas card list this year.

I was downloading a lot of stuff today, anyways when I went to open the new directory from windows explorer I can view the files for a minute then I get the prompt that
windows explorer must close
I've ran my virus scan which is up todate and everything came back in the all clear. I am trying to delete these files but as I said I just get the same message every time. I've tried to delete the directory from the command prompt using rmdir but i must not be able to get the path right which I find strange as this does not work. Can someone even give me an example of how to use the command. Oh and I tried using system restore but i get the message that it cannot restore the system to an earlier date

Any help is much appreciated
thanks

Try deleting them in safemode , hit f8 when booting up , that could work.

Hi thanks for your reply. I've just tried that and still came up with the same error. If I was to reinstall windows would it wipe my hard drive clean? Is is it possible to re install custom aspect of windows? Does anyone know why system restore is not functioning?

thanks again

See if this app does the trick:

If it doesn't work can you post a hijackthis log?

And if you do a repair install you wont lose any files but you probebly stil can't delete those files , and with a fresh install you will lose everything on youre system partition.
