Hi Jh
No the folder that refuses to die is a sub folder which used to contain pictures. In an effort not to use space on the C drive I created a folder called xxxxx Documents (Backup) with all the sub folders you would normally find under the normal my documents folders. The one causing probs is D:\xxxxx Documents (Backup)\my photographs\Flying. As to changing the poistion of the main My Docs folder I just right clicked on it then properties and then clicked on move and rassigned the folder to D:\My Documents
Thanks for your time & help
Sorry those icons should of course be colon backslash !! They are now :)
