I just realized something about this folder on my desktop that will not
delete. It has NO NAME! My daughter forget to give it a name. I tried to
name it by clicking rename but it will not allow me to give it a name. Is
this the problem? Because when I tried to rename it I got a similar error
message:
Cannot rename folder: Cannot read from the source file or disk. And when I
click properties it does not show the created, access, or modiefied dates.
They are blank. Plus the tabs at the top of property window only show three
tabs. General Sharing and Customize. No Advanced tab.
