Can't delete a folder

Hi,
since I merged 2 partitions sometime ago, during that process I had
to give a name to a folder or something in PM. Anyway, whats happend is
that win2k thinks it is a system folder and defaults to that folder for
my documents. I have searched the registry but there is no reference to
the said folder. I can rename it, shorten it and do most things except
delete it. I did actually delete it in safe mode, but it re produced
itself again when I booted normally.

Is there any real way I can get rid of this folder for good?

Thanks

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the program and ran it, but there is
nothing shown for that folder in question.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
