i installed office 2000 awhile back...
i recently uninstalled all of office via add/remove... uninstall was "successful", but when i go into windows explorer the "microsoft frontpage" folder remains. when i try to delete the folder manually I get the following error "shared file violation source file may be in use" and i am not able to delete it. I do not have any shared features enabled.
this is what blows my mind...
i completely format my hdd, leaving no signs of an os then re-install windows everything is wiped of course leaving a clean install EXCEPT that "microsoft frontpage" folder (which is empty) again this is after formatting my entire hdd leaving no os and again i get the same error when trying to delete the folder.
even more mind blowing...
since the error stated that the file was being used i decided to start in "safe-mode" to try to del the folder - success! the folder is deleted. after the folder is deleted i format my hdd once more... no os... i re-install windows and THE MICROSOFT FRONTPAGE FOLDER IS THERE ONCE AGAIN!!!
HOW CAN THIS BE WHERE DID IT COME FROM?!?!
yes i have to much time on my hands :laughing:
thanks, Richard

lol. That is way screwed up. I have no idea how to fix that problem. What I don\'t understand is how it was still there after you formatted. That just blows my mind. :)

Microsoft FrontPage is now part of Internet Explorer which, until further legal reprimands, is part of Windows of all flavors and versions.
The "Sharing violation" error you are getting is not from "sharing" it across a network. The sharing violation is an error that means another application is using the file you are trying to move, modify, or delete.
Check your Task Manager ( CTRL+ALT+DEL ) and see if there are any programs running in the background you didn\'t know were up. Kill them and then try and delete that folder, but most likely Windows will create it again on bootup. Why you ask?

yes... i del the folder in safe mode and it reappears once i reboot.
is there no way to get rid of this folder? i mean crap i formatted and everything. guess i could break down and re-install frontpage so at least it would be there for a reason, but that would be stupid... :laughing:
something is telling windows to create the folder - where could i look?
i bought norton sys works pro great buy!

Windows is alright if you just stay away from Me (I personally advise against XP for hardware reasons). I run 2000 Professional because it\'s based on NT. But no matter what version you run, it will always do little stuff like that to piss you off. 2000 is the best though.
nO-One uses a Mac, but I never have so I can\'t speak for it.
Red Hat 7 is what I run on my other machine at home. The new Linux (RedHat 7.1 and Mandrake 8.1) are very much user-friendly, but if you\'ve never used UNIX before it would take some getting used to.
