| 1160735 | 2010-12-11 21:46:00 | Hi, my friend is having a problem, with his laptop. When you try to delete a file, the dialog box comes up saying it is deleting the file, but the box never goes away. if you ctrl+alt+del and end the explorer task then run it again, the file IS deleted, but the dialog never goes away. I tried running CCleaner to clean the registry but that didn't fix it. Any ideas, guys? |

| 1160738 | 2010-12-11 22:11:00 | I have found that XP and Vista are a bit buggy if you try to delete a big folder or a lot of files. But a few files only should be no problem |
