Can you copy them?

You might also want to boot into safe mode, log in as Administrator, and see
if the ownership of the files is screwed up....

> I have several folders of mp3's that I cannot move, Play, rename, or
delete. When I right click on them and go to properties, it says they are
zero length, but when I use the details menu option it tells me that they
are 3 and 4 mb apiece. Also when in properties it says they are "Hidden" and
"Read-Only" which I cannot remove. Anyone know how to fix this? It seems my
programs can see the files, but cannot read them.. I can't transfer them to
my ipod or read the ID3 tags.. !!
