Dear Karen, The deltree command does not exist in Windows 2000 (it is a Windows 95/98/DOS command) Try using Windows Explorer to delete the Recycled folder after changing the folder's attributes from the command prompt. Tell me if this worked. If not there is an alternative solution for your problem! - This is a minor problem that can be definetely fixed!
