in program files on my coputer there is a folder named 'msn gaming zone'...im pretty sure i got it when i installed age of empires 2...anyway, in that folder there is another one titled 'windows', and no matter what i do i cannot delete it...when i access it i can delete everyting inside the folder, but after maybe 10 secs it all magically reappears...when i try to delete the folder it says to make sure it is not currently in use or anything...if anyone can help me get rid of this nuisance folder i would be most grateful
thanks

You didn't Install it at all - it came with XP - it's for playing the XP Internet Games

See Start Menu - Games Folder

PS - if you don't want that MSN Gaming Zone at all then you can Remove the Component in Add\Remove - Windows Components - Remove the Games Component

That would be better than Deleting Folders which don't 'belong' to you!

Is there any way to delete the folder itself? -Dave
