I wouldn't! Nor would I act on one reply from an unknown source. I would
suspect that it's probably not advisable to do so, but I'm not 100% certain. Caution, my friend. Colin. "J&P" wrote: Many thanks for quick reply. Much appreciated. Regards Joe Steele "Ramd" wrote in message ... Yes it is pefectly safe. :-)

Thanks for the warning, Colin. But, if you delete these folders or their
"fixed" contents, Windows will reinstate them. I wished to purge them as they are no longer used. I used Kelly Theriot's tip for deleting the "undeletable". I was really after confirmation of what I had already read about. Your concern appreciated and I hope it will be extended to me again and to others in the future if you feel it necessary.

Thanks Joe, I wasn't sure what the result of deleting the folders would be
hence the cautionary advice, especially after checking out previous posts by "Ramd". If you had been someone less cautious and had the folder been "non-reinstatable" there could have been a lot of damage. Glad you got sorted out though, Take Care Colin.
