hmmmm
I have run full Norton scans etc and I dont appear to have any bad stuff on my 'puter... however recently whenever I try to delete something from anywhere in my documents, my bookmarks, or my programs etc I get an Microsoft error message I can delete emails from my outlook express just fine and I can backspace/delete text as well as delete stuff from word documents. I can also remove/remove programs just seems to be when I use the Start menu to access documents or programs and right click to delete anything that I get the error message, as well as when going to my bookmark/favorites folders hope I explained that ok anyone know why this may be happening?

If you write down the error message # and text, and then Google that , it might help. That is what my son does to fix things, sometimes.
example: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...2-0fa36d76af3b I'd also try a reboot, and then try to delete again. Sometimes just a reboot helps me with problems.

rebooted many times, and did everything else I can think of including a restore etc...this has been going on for about 2 months!
I did google the problem and came up with some forums where people posted the same problem, also around the time I started noticing this ie Novemeber...but the replies dont offer any real solutions eg http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...2-0fa36d76af3b

I was looking around for you and found this...potential solutions.
Like moving the file, renaming the file etc. Don't click on "DOWNLOAD" that is an advertisement. http://www.softwarepatch.com/tips/howto-delete-xp.html I can't vouch for the safety of the "scan" they offer. This site suggests booting in safe mode, and deleting there! http://www.bootdisk.com/xptop20.htm#8
