getting stranger..I deleted the folder since I could not open it then I went to the recycle bin to see if I could open it there....HAHAHA its empty...so I got out my CD copied and pasted that folder in a newly named folder an wala it opened.........ya think I have gremlins???? Pat something strange is going on...today was backup day and my usual way of backing up is to copy my folders and then paste them in another folder to burn off..I did that checked it all is ok..then deleted that folder that I burned. Then I was trying to access one particular folder and when I double click it or chose open it disappears..........then my active desktop thing comes on and asks if I want to activate it and I do that...so I shout off the desktop and tried agian same thing....I can open the other folders fine just not the one I want to open Any suggestions?
