You could try using windows explorer to get to that folder and then deleting from there. Temporarily turn on a few settings in windows explorer (WinXP menus--so may have to translate for vista) Open windows explorer Tools|Folder Options|view tab Scroll down and select "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "hide protected operating system files (recommended)" (make a note of your settings before you change them so that you can change them back.) Then try traversing that long folder structure. I have no idea if Vista has any security settings that will stop you from deleting the file, though. ps. Windows start button|Run (or the equivalent in Vista) type: %appdata% and hit enter and you may avoid a few levels of clicking.

However, when I try to delete it using the del command I get the following message: "The system cannot find the path specified." I typed DIR FD972000/s The path that was given: Directory of c: \Users\user\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Microsoft Office \Office\XLStart We're sooo close to being able to delete these unwanted files. I hope that you will be able to suggest a way to get over this hump. William S -- Dave Peterson Dave, Thanks for your prompt reply. I will be implementing your suggestions. It may not be until tomorrow as I will be having to indure a medical procedure today. William S -- Dave Peterson |
