Looking at the name of the folder "Microsoft\CD Burning" , could it have something to do with winxp's built in cd burning capabilitys ?
Maybe it are "Files Ready to Be Written to the CD" , i dont use windows' burning software and have it disabled so i cant look anything up but here are 2 links with info on it. maybe it helps.

When you drag files into the CD folder in preparation for burning a CD, you actually copy them to a temporary folder in your local profile. Then, when you begin the actual burning process, Windows creates a separate image file. If you've selected enough files to fill a CD to its full capacity, you'll need more than 1 GB of extra disk space.

Is F: by coincedence maybe youre cd writers drive letter?

Can you drag and drop the folder? if so you can use this program

Make sure windows is made to see hidden folder and files

If there's nothing important in the folders, just press Shift when you're in CD Burning, right click the F folder and click Delete. That bypasses the Recycle Bin.

i use Nero for all my burning needs and F:\ is just a storage drive.? I:\ & J:\ are my cd writer drives.

i also tried the "shift/delete" method.? it says it "cannot delete file".? i was hoping that would work.? doh!

that link is a 404 error, although it does hit the actual site.

u guys, i know that there are more dire needs on this wonderful site.? i'm glad i found it.? i hope this trivial thing isn't deterring you from more important stuff.? i appreciate it and hopefully, although trivial, it may help someone else out in the future.? it's the sort of thing that drives you crazy :banghead: i know.

thanks a million!

ps...while i have you here.? Every time i try to look at attachments here, they try to keep opening within Winamp....lol.? how do i change this permanantly to open within a viewer?? even the basic ms picture viewer is fine.

this Killbox looked like it was going to do the trick. it went on forever trying. all i could see were the same exact files going over and over. but in the end...

To remove the Nero Virtual drive: Go to Control Panel => Add/remove Software, select "ImageDrive (Ahead Software)" and click Remove
