Can someone PLEASE give me a way to get rid of this folder. It should not be there. It's impossible. (yeah right) I've tried almost every method. It's on my 'D' drive so I can't use the command prompt. Is there somewhere in the registry that keeps these settings in memory or maybe the msconfig?

Command prompt gives me this:
D:\ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Bummer. No matter the command. Example....D:\del Progra~2
All it does is empties the folder, it will not delete it.

The command to remove a directory is remdir or rd
