How to delete a systems folder?
I was cleaning my pc one day and when I finished I discovered a new icon and
a number 5. I've never seen the icon before on my pc. It kind of looks like the printer icon. Our IS team cannot help me. When I open microsoft word and go to Look In: this icon5 comes up under systems folder under My Network Places. I tried to delete it, but it won't go away. I was able to delete just the icon, but the folder is still there. Normally I open word, go to Look In: click on the V drive, then click on my name folder, then all of my folders come up. Now, I go to Look In: clikd on V drive, then click on my name folder, then this icon5 comes up with all of my files below it. If I save under this icon 5 thing, then my files won't be updated in my regular v drive. In other words the icon 5 is jumping into the v drive place. I'm not very computer savvy, and I don't know what to do. Can anyone help? |

How to delete a systems folder?
Word is a very poor method for managing folders and files. You need to be in
your operating system. I don't have a clue what the new icon is but I doubt it has anything directly to do with Word. If your operating system is Windows you need to set your folder views so that you can view hidden and system files. Note, this may not trump network settings which may prevent you from doing this. Have you installed or updated any software recently, especially anything from Adobe or Norton? -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

How to delete a systems folder?
Mimi -
I did a quick Google and found that installing a RAID 5 system can create an icon with a 5. DO NOT delete that icon or folder. Talk to your IS team and ask them if they've installed an Adaptec SCSI RAID controller. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "MiMi" wrote in message ...

How to delete a systems folder?
Thank you for your response. I already tried to delete the folder, but it
won't go away. I'll contact our IS team and hope they will know what they are doing.
