Folder won't delete from desktop

[Gtiracer]

Ive tried moving it, deleting it several times obviously to no avail, also some command prompt thing suggested through google didn't do anything either.

I delete the file it appears in the recycle bin but everytime the computer is restarted the folder will be back on the desktop, it only had a few pictures in it, wasn't a system folder or anything special.

Any suggestions - preferably without downloading 3rd party software Cheers

Try renaming the file. Boot into safe mode and try deleting it from there.

Check the permissions of the folder

Boot into a live linux CD and delete it from there. This will ensure that the file is not in use and it will definitely be deleted by doing this.

Download ubuntu 11.4... takes 10 minutes or less depending on connection, use poweriso to burn it to a dvd. Sorted.
