No solution for deleting file in Win 7???
Hi there,
I got the "Could not find this item" issues as posted earlier in this forum. However, all the solutions do not seem to work for me (Win 7 X64 with 4 Gb ram, on which I logon as Administrator!!!).....
* First tried F5
* Tried reboot
* Tried command prompt and rd, attrib, rename, del commands
Nothing worked! The folder still shows up in the explorer.
I proceeded with searching for the foldername in the registry (nothing found) and did a chkdsk (everything okay). I even tried the Take Ownership registry hack. All without success....
I have no funny processes running (like virusscanners and such), but I do not seem to get rid of this thing. Complete message is:
Could not find this item
This is no longer located in C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads. Verify the item's location and try again.
I cannot remove, rename or move this folder, but it still shows up in the Explorer. I can put files in the folder however (??).
The Explorer frequently tells me I need permission from the Administrator also. That's weird, cuz I am the Administrator. This is usually solved by a refresh, but it goes to show that there seems to be something wrong with Win7's explorer....
Thanks for all suggestions! Appreciate the help!
Cees
