How to remove a folder empty on the desktop

I created a folder empty to use on my desk and not use it. Now I can't delete it! If I delete, or drag to the trash, it disappears. But he's back on the desktop the next time I turn on the computer. I want to remove it permanently - how should I do this?

Hello

Please proceed with loading safe mode and delete the folder from your desktop.  This should take care of this for you.  I hope that this information is beneficial.

Thank you

    I don't know what to do with the ownership of an item.

    In the tutorial...

    First step is to add Take Ownership option to your context menu.

    Two ASEO is to show you how to use it.

    First step is self-explanatory.
    Second step is... right click on the file/folder you want to delete > click appropriate > a black and white screen flashes for a second or two and disappear > now do a right click on the folder/file/new > click on delete.

    Although it is possible to remove the arrow, my recommendation is that
    you are not doing this. The arrows are an important
    function - provide quick visual identification of a shortcut. If you
    remove the arrows, you run the risk of substantial that sooner or later
    you delete something you want to keep, thinking that you were
    just remove a shortcut. I let the arrows that they are.

    Ken Blake (MS-MVP)

    According to me, there are situations that are valid for this.  I would like to remove the arrow from shortcuts on the desktop that I keep to certain folders.  I have file extensions on and do not keep the installers on the desktop, so I don't see the harm to remove the arrow of my shortcut 'Documents '.  I never think of Documents is actually stored on the desktop.  And if something, it only would make me more hesitant to delete a shortcut, no more likely to remove a real folder.  I plead to remove the arrow system, but it would be useful for specific desktop icons.  It's obviously the case, because Microsoft has decided to remove the arrow for "user files" folder is added through the control panel "Desktop Icon Settings".

  • Why the empty folder reappears on the desktop in XP when I use the Save as command

    I'm under XP_SP3 with Firefox 8.0.1. I had an empty folder on my desktop called "D E M O" I used to use for downloads. I moved to another HD on my system and removed from the desktop computer.
    Now, any moment I DL EVERYTHING type of file with Firefox, the folder reappears on the desktop as soon as I hit him file, save as. I tested this out with IE6. IE6 does not re-create the folder.

    This might be a stupid answer, but did you really tell firefox to download to a different location?

    Personally I always Firefox ask me where to download files.

    There are several places an identifier Apple is used on an iPhone.

    • If it's the Apple of a former owner of the phone ID, and it is in settings/iCloud grace to find my iPhone activated, ONLY the person who set up the Apple ID can remove (see: find my iPhone Activation Lock: a mechanism of extraction of the previous owner)
    • If it's the Apple ID in Settings/iTunes & App Store just log out, then log back with the correct ID of Apple.
    • Do the same for iMessage and Facetime, if that is where the Apple ID is used.
    • If he is asked during the updating of the apps means that applications have been purchased or downloaded using this code from Apple. To resolve this issue, you must remove the application, and then buy with your Apple ID.

    How to remove a single label in the navigation menu - for example I don't want a 'HOUSE' label visible when im on the home page.

    In order to be able to define your own label for a menu item, you would use a manual type menu. Other types of menus inherit page name as a Label for the menu items that you set in Page Properties or Plan mode.

    Or you could exclude the "HOME page" of the Menu options via the context menu in Plan/Design mode.

  • How to remove headers and footers of the PDF by developing the plug-in by ourselves?

    How to remove headers and footers of the PDF by developing the plug-in by ourselves?

    The Adobe Acrobat version is 7.0 or higher.

    The version of the SDK is compatible with Adobe Acrobat.

    Currently, I'm looking on how to distinguish the 'headers or footers' with the other normal PDEElements, but so far I can't find any api on this subject.

    AH - Adobe 'headers' and 'feet '.

    Those are implemented by using optional content and content groups marked.  You can use the same API to locate them in a PDF file, if removal will require more work including some API at the level of the Cos.

    Sounds strange, but you can use COALESCE to achieve this.

  • The contents of the folder WAV files will not work unless the folder is on the desktop.

    Re: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit W/sp2 installed.

    I created a new folder for Wav files and set it on my desk until I was finished downloading the files for convenience purposes. I then used them to slightly change the default sounds for different commands, events and others. Everything worked fine until I moved the folder on the desktop to another location. Files located in the folder assigned and uncorrupted but will no longer work when the event or the command is enabled. If I move the folder to the desktop everything works well again. No error or anything are reported. The files in the folder will simply not work unless the folder is on the desktop. Is that all I could do to fix this?

    Hello

    1. what happens when you play the file from another location, you receive error message?

    2 - is that happen with some .wav files or all files?

    3. did you try copied the contents of the file and save it to another location and check the number?
