Are you sure you want to delete 'WINDOWS'

[eMac4ever]

I tried to empty my trashcan on Windows XP and it asked me, "Are you sure you want to delete WINDOWS." (Have a good time looking at all the crap I have on my desktop. lol)

Weird, but I'm sure it is just a useless file that somehow got named WINDOWS :confused:

No, I checked there's nothing in there.

There's somethin' in there. It's showing a the filled recycle bin.

I'd say virus. :D

But the answer is clearly 'yes.':D

Dont you mean recycle bin? :p :rolleyes:

Open the trash can and see what's in there. You might also want to get rid off some of the icons on the desktop, at least those you don't use frequently.

I fixed it guys. I just put a file in the Recycle Bin, clicked Empty the Recycle Bin,
and it worked. :)

A lot of people have had this dilemma apparently:

glad you got rid of the problem :)

more importantly, great choice of wallpaper :p didn't expect to see an ayu fan on this forum.

[eMac4ever]

Ayu looks a bit like Cher there doesn't she? lol ReanimationLP is also a fan of Ayumi. Do you post on any Ayumi message boards?
