Windows XP Support >> Deleting folders & files in Window XP home edition You can't delete anything from there, you seem to be referring to the
setting under the "tools" menu is that right. If you want to delete some of
your folders or files in "my documents" then select the file or folder &
press the "delete" key.

Windows XP Support >> Deleting folders & files in Window XP home edition Dear Neil,
Many thanks for your response. You were right, I meant to delete folder and
files under the 'tools' menu because they appeared in quere figures and
codes, if I can't delete them, can I locate them or trace them somewhere
inside the computer to see what they are? Please advise. Thanks!

Windows XP Support >> Deleting folders & files in Window XP home edition Hi,
Still not quite sure what you mean. There are no files or folders under the
"tools" menu. The tools menu contains "Map Network Drive", "Disconnect
Network Drive" etc.
If you are returning to the files and folders in your "My Documents" folder
then you should be able to select the files or folder and press the delete
key on your keyboard & delete the object.
If it wont let you delete it then try starting in safemode and see if you
can delete it then.
Give me an example of the name of the file or folder.

Windows XP Support >> Deleting folders & files in Window XP home edition Hi Neil,
Thanks again for your kind response. Perhaps my explanation wasn't very
clear and let me try to explain it again, the location of the troublsome
folder is inside "my documents\tools\folder options\view\advanced setting".
Normally under 'Advanced setting",there should be a Main folder named "File
and Folders" and a sub-folder named "Hidden file and folders", but I had an
extra sub-folder in quere name, something like - æ?¨ è?¹ * å?¯ cmæ?? *(not
traditional or simplied chineses), and inside this sub-folder, there are 3
choices of similar quere names which made me very annoying that I just don't
know which choice I should pick. I hope the above can give you a better
picture about the problem I have. Please advise. Thanks!

Windows XP Support >> Deleting folders & files in Window XP home edition I've got it now, I see what you mean. I was thinking your were referring to
files & folders in your my documents folder. These are settings rather than
files & folders. Does anything change if you click on "restore defaults". I
would think this means you have installed (either on purpose or by accident)
a program that has added settings to this list. You may need to investigate
editing the registry and google may help there. I'll have a look myself & if
I find anything I'll post it back.

Windows XP Support >> Deleting folders & files in Window XP home edition Neil, I had just tried to click on "restore defaults" but nothing changed,
then I went inside the 'Registry Editor' and use 'Find' to search for the
quere files and folders settings by using the similar quere names but nothing
had been found. You mentioned that I may need to investigate editing the
registry and google may help there, I don't get what you meant "google may
help there". I agreed with you that I might have installed some program that
has added those settings in the list. Anyhow, thanks very much for trying to
help me to solve my problem, and if you have found anything helpful, please
advise. Thanks!

Windows XP Support >> Deleting folders & files in Window XP home edition Hi,
I meant a search using www.google.com. I haven't found anything myself
although there was something to do with muicache.
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=muicache&spell=1

I'll leave it with you if you want to make any changes to the registry but
dont forget to backup the registry settings before you do.
