Vista - Deleting Folders

Approximately 3 months ago I transferred several files from my desk top
outlook Windows XP 2003 to my lap top outlook VISTA (i.e. outlook
contacts; outlook calendar) by conventional CD. Well, you are not
going to believe this, but I have empty folders of outlook contacts and
outlook calendar all over the place in "my documents". They appear out
of nowhere at random and I simply cannot delete them no matter what I
do. I'll press "delete"; they'll disappear for a couple of seconds;
and then reappear exactly as they were. I have changed their names and
their icons - and they just keep on reappearing.
According to the security setting under "properties" attached to these
empty folders: the system, the administrator and I have full and
complete control to do whatever to those folders. I have many such
unexplained events to share with you about this wonderful VISTA ops
system... this is the one that freaks me out the most. Can anyone
share a suggestion on how to kill these folders?

Hi Dsbegin,

Save anything you want from the "Documents" folder to a new folder on your desktop. Delete the "Documents" folder from "C:\Users\(your username)". Now, open the Start menu and type "shell:Personal" (no quotes), in the white line (Start Search) area, and press Enter. This will open and restore the Documents folder if it was not automatically restored. Just add back the items from the desktop folder.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
