Hi,
I currently have a folder on my desktop that cannot be renamed, deleted or
moved or opened.

i get the follow error message when trying to delete the folder:

Could not find this item
This is no longer located in C:\users\xxx\desktop. verify the item's
location and try again.


if i right click the folder and go to properties and then security i get the
following message:

the requested secuirty information is either unavailable or can't be
displayed.

regards,
scott
