Undeletable: Files Not Found
Mar 23, 2008
I have two 0(General Tab) byte or 82(Detail tab) byte files, depending on what tab of properties is chosen. The files are not found in DOS or renameable, deletable, shredable, and no program or method suggested in a 1.5 hour discussion with Dell has worked. DOS says the file does not exist, and any operation on the file in Vista can't find the file to change, delete, rename, etc. It is not "running" and us not used by any other process. They only show up on the desktop. Every type of method tried(Many), the message is always the same. File not found. I have SP1 installed. My Windows Explorer is up to date.

I am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. I have a folder on my desktop named Downloads that I use for, shockingly, downloads. Anyway, there are a couple of files in the folder that are, apparently, not really there. They are like ghost files. They used to exist but now they are still visible but not recognized by any program. Also, they have a size of 0 kb!
I'd like to get rid of them but they refuse to be deleted. When I try to delete them, I get this:
So I figured that I'd delete the whole folder........or not:

I have a folder that is undeletable.
When trying to delete the folder an error box will pop up saying that...
"Item Not Found"
"Could not find this item"
"This is no longer located in C:... Verify the item's location and try again"
Using the command prompt, or safe mode does not work.
This isnt the 1st time.
It happens when a program is downloading, and the program decides to make 2 folders for the same download.
The 2 folders look identical, with the same name.
You delete 1 of the folders, and you are left with 1.
On a closer look, the folder left behind has a space at the end of the filename.
This could be a space or possibly an illegal character that cant be displayed.

I'm running Vista Home Premium, and I'm trying to reorganize the programs in my start menu (UAC is off for ease of moving files/folders; I am administrator). I've come across a folder that I can't move or delete. Whenever I try to move it, I get an error that it cannot locate the file (The error message says that the file is no longer located in C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms). Additionally, a right-click menu does not appear for this folder (but it does for everything else in the Start Menu). When I go to C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms that folder does appear. However, I cannot delete it or move it. Trying to do so results in a similar "unable to locate folder" message as before. Yet, I can still open the folder, which is empty (hence why I want to delete it).

There must be a way to be sure all Vista and W7 system files are signed (not corrupted). I've researched and have not found a way.

I looked at the CBS.log and found that doing a search this has been going on since 1/2008 and my system runs fine. I just rebooted yesterday with 1252 hours of processor idle time so I think the system is stable. I looked at repairing the dll file from the vista disk but I think I could learn Chinese sooner than follow all these steps to take ownership and get the files from the disk.

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate with Windows Defender Disabled and Norton Internet Security 2009 installed. Someone who is completely trusted sent me an email with an attachment. The attachment was defined as a ZIPP file. I copied the file to my desktop and renamed it to a ZIP file to access the enclosed files. Within the ZIP are four OCX files which I need to copy to my System32 directory.
When I attempt to copy the files to any location in my computer, I get "Windows has found this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file." When I click on the "How does this help protect my computer." link it takes me to Windows Mail help. This has nothing to do with Windows Mail. Where can I adjust the Security settings in Windows to fix this problem

I wanted to install a new theme onto my computer the other day,rather than use Glazz or whatever it's called i found instructions on how to edit some files within the System32 folder on the C drive.It told me to re-name the UxTheme.dll and two other files that i cant remember (ibelieve they were called something like svchost.dll and hmui.dll,total guesses)First i had to take ownership of all 3 files,then i had to change the permissions to full permision on all three to full control,and then i had to re-name all the files rom.dll to.old and then the part that i think i screwed up was that it said to copy something and i missed that,so i re-started the computer and then the problems arose.It will come up to the login screen,then i log in,it comes up with a message that UxTheme.dll cannot be found, i click ok and then two screenes come up saying that the Windows Explorer and Desktop Manager are not working and windows cannot find a solution.It then finishes loging in and brings to to a black screen where only the mouse pointer is visible, and that's it.If i ctrl-alt-delete it brings up the screene showing me my options,logout,switch users, task manager,etc.I can log out,switch etc,but if i click task manager it also brings up a window saying the task manageris not working.

I have two Vista machines, one Ultimate x64 and one Business x64 both on the same LAN. The Ultimate machine has already installed SP1 (albeit unsuccessfully) but the Business machine (which is a Dell laptop) is still not seeing any update for SP1. do I have to do to get SP1 on this machine?

Post in reply to: Carey Frisch [MVP] This reply is misleading! SP1 is available via Microsoft update....I ran MSU and SP1 downloaded no problem.

I just built a new system and have a fresh copy of Vista Ultimate 64 installed. I've installed a few games and both games are giving 2 errors saying that "This application has failed to start because WINMM.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". This pops up twice, and then the game starts and seems to work without any issues.

I just installed a new game. Immediately upon attempting to run the game I get the following error message: d3dx9_40.dll was not found. After some searching around the web it was suggested that I update DirectX. However, it appears that I am running the most recent version, DirectX 10. I am reluctant to update something that appears to be up to date.
It is true that d3dx9_40.dll is missing, but some of the suggestions I found on the web indicate that I should not merely download this dll. I am not a big gamer, just wanted to look at this game, and am reluctant to spend hours and hours reconfiguring my system, but I would like to know why I am getting this error and why DirectX 10 doesn't include d3dx9_40.dll.I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere, I looked and didn't find anything that directly addresses this question.

I am running VISTA Ultimate. After my computer is restarted the INTERNET can't be found until I restart my LINKSYS router. I never have to restart the router when my XP computers are restarted. I am connected to the router by network cable rather than wireless. Of course when I restart my router then the VISTA computer eventually finds the INTERNET. I would rather not restart my router every time the VISTA computer is rebooted.

I downloaded a dll (Ssubtmr6.dll), placed the file in the C:WindowsSystem32 folder and then using the Run dialog, entered the command Regsvr32 "C:WindowsSystem32Ssubtmr6.dll" to register it. I get an error message stating the module failed to load and including the text "Module could not be found". I had no problem installing this on an XP machine. I'm running Vista Home Premium (64 bit) with Service Pack 1.

I tried to send an *.xlsx file and noticed a window telling me "blabla...could not be send because of specials formats...something". So I converted the file into an *.xls. The same happened. Then I copied the whole thing, inserted only the numbers, not the formats and saved it as *.xls. The same mistake happened. What can I do to solve the problem. I really do need a solution because I have to send this file to my school, for I'm doing a homestudy!

I have tried several times to install Corel GuideMenu. Every time restart I get a message saying that GMTask.dll cannot be found. I have spent lots of time dealing with Corel to find a fix but they have no idea where that .dll is supposed to be (according to them it doesn't exist). I have run the program in compatibility mode and get the same message even though I installed it on our other laptop (XP) and it works fine.

the server 'cannot be found', which is ludicrous. i tried deleting and redoing the account--didn't work. i've never had this problem before, and the only thing that i've done differently since last being able to download my optonline.net mail into windows mail is i've used wifi. now i am connected by cable.

I will go along for months and windows e-mail works fine. Then one day I can't get into e-mail at all and a box pops up telling me it is use by another program. Before I can do anything else another box pops up sayin that e-mail can't be started because MSOE.DLL cannot be found. If I restart windows all is well again until the next time these boxes show up. There are no other programs running. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to completely restart?

Slow, cumbersome, unfriendly to other Windows OSes when networked,
unfriendly to MS powertoys, yet still elegent in in its GUI (when it
finally gets around to it) -- one might say, almost Macish.
