Unwanted Icon in My Computer folder !
Just recently I have discovered a yellow folder icon appearing in my "My Computer" entitled "New Folder". However, there is nothing in the folder (read-only type).
It cannot be deleted. I have tried highlighting it then using Delete, and also right clicking but the menu only gives me a choice of three options - Open, Explore or Create Shortcut. I have tried to drag and drop to desktop and the recycle bin unsuccessfully. I just can't get rid of it.
Don't know how it got there but I would like to remove it. I have experienced no problems because of it and have normal computer functions, but it doesn't belong there. Any suggestions will be appreciated. TIA

Example: attrib -R -A -S -H c:\windows\my.txt
removes all of the attributes for the file
my.txt
Hope this helps
