message problem
Try rebooting. If that doesn't work then try a scandisk and a defrag.
steve "Anna" wrote in message ... I received a message that had been forwarded several times. The kind that you have to keep clicking on the attachment to open. Then I saved it to my desk top. Now I can't remove it from the desk top. I get a message that reads, Error Deleting File or Folder Cannot delete file: cannot read from the source file or disk. When I click on the file and select properties, it shows the size is 0 and size on disk is also 0. How can I remove it from my desk top?

message problem
I have tried rebooting and defrag. Scandisk isn't an option so I ran
chkdsk. I have also ran ad-aware and spybot. I have tried killbox and hijack, it didn't show up in either of those programs. The thing is still sitting on my desktop. I am unable to rename it, delete it or move it into a folder. I get the same error message each time. I appreciate your time. Thanks Anna "Steve Cochran" wrote in message ... Try rebooting.

Try opening the Desktop in WinExplorer so you see what's on it and then see
if you can delete it. If not, then go to Start | Run and type msconfig and disable all startup items and non-MS services and then reboot and see if you can delete it. steve "Anna" wrote in message ...

Try rebooting in Safe Mode (use F8 key while starting up to bring up the
Safe Mode menu choice) and again try using Windows Explorer (WinKey+E) to open the Desktop and try deleting it from within Explorer by right clicking it, and selecting Delete. -- Jim Pickering, MVP/Windows Mail applications Please reply ONLY to newsgroup.

I tried that also. I get the very same error message. I even tried to make
it a hidden file so I wouldn't have to look at it, it won't let me do anything with it. I may just have to live with it.
