carolann,
No file or folder is undeletable in windows, unless it has special characters or has a filename that is the same as special device folders. The only way you're going to delete it successfully from w2k, is to open a command prompt in w2k and use the del or deltree command to blast the folder. If it refuses, then you'll need to use the attrib -r -h -s command to remove all the protections on the file/folder in question and then you can delete it from the command prompt window in w2k. Second, if the folder regenerates after being deleted, then it's using the registry to autoregenerate the folder. In that case, you'll have to go in the registry and kill the string in the registry that is autogenerating the folder (usually found in HKLM/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run) and then you can delete the folder for good.

The folder contains folders with reserved names and special characters even enterprise admin cannot change permissions on this access is denied no matter what you do, deltree is not a command in w2k my machine keeps telling me its unavailable. Im not formatting my hd its a server and the system drive which would mean a complete rebuild.
thanks everyone for all your help
