Web Folders Folder

[JamesJ]

Access 2003 setup created a folder called Web Folders that I
can't delete. What component do I need to remove in order to
remove the folder?

Thanks,
James

I guess I have to ask. Why do you want to delete part of your Access
installation? The folder takes only ~4.5 meg here. As a test, I had no
difficulty removing it (temporarily, of course). Are you sure you didn't
have Access or another Office app running when you tried?

I had a feeling you were going to respond with a question.
Every time I turn around xp or access creates a folder. I can't even
see my real drives in explorer anymore. If I allowed all programs to
create these useless folders I would run out of disk space.
I was going to try the easy way by asking but I'll find some third
party to delete it.

Thanks

Part of my response asked you to try deleting the folder after making sure
no Office applications were running. You should have no difficulty deleting
"Web Folders" under those circumstances. If you still cannot delete it, then
you have system issues. When did you last scan for viruses, malware, etc.?

Note, it appears it has nothing to do with Access 2003.
