Dear group: I use Windows XP Pro and I'd like to clean up some of the crap that's on the hard drive. In particular, the Program Files folder, as it came from the manufacturer, is a mess. However, I can't delete some (apparently empty) folders because the system says they are in use. Examples include: \Xerox\nwwia: microsoft frontpage\version3.0\bin and most aggravatingly: Windows NT\Pinball! Who the hell is using Pinball? It's not me, and I find it hard to believe it's important to the system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! wayne
