Hmmm. Looking at it from this ends it appears that Andrew and I have replied to your posts before you even asked a question or reported a problem! I replied to your 10:32AM post at 9:40AM and Andrew replied to your 10:37AM post at 10:02AM, I may have to check my crystal ball to see if it's cracked...


No special processes being used. Just explorer.

Will give the recommended tools a try.

Checking permissions was the first thing I tried.
This thing is not yet on a network; there are no
users set up, save the administrator and no
sharing has been assigned.

No such trouble on the machine the files
originated from (via hard disk temporary
relocation), and in many specific cases these
were/are new folders and files created for
updating hardware drivers.

Checking the permissions was a good troubleshooting measure but being that you can delete the folders after a reboot I don't think that this is a permissions issue, your investigation seems to have confirmed this.
