The date and time was Wednesday, April 08, 2009 11:59:35 PM, and on a whim, John Keiser pounded out on the keyboard:

Often - not always - after deleting a file in Windows Explorer I get a persistent popup warning "D:XXX refers to a location that is unavailable, It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network, Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
Rather than reboot to stop this, I've looked for a process to kill but have been unsuccessful so far.
How can I easily stop this?
Thank you.


Have you tried pressing F5 after deleting?

As a side note, you are using OE that IMPROPERLY inserts a
delimiter in your sig when top posting, my mail client (that properly
removes anything below the delimiter) caused everything below your reply
to be removed. You can install Quotefix which fixes the delimiter bug and others: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/

And your sig info states to remove NOSPAM (similar to mine) but you don't have your email addresses munged. You might have forgot when configuring OE.

Hi again John,

Please leave enough of the persons text that you are replying to, so others can follow the thread. I have pasted back in your first post here so others can follow what is going on without having to go back to the first thread and then each subsequent post.

Have you run a disk check on the drive? Open a command prompt, Start, Run, type cmd and click OK.

Then type chkdsk c: /f

You will be prompted to reboot and the drive will be checked.


Also, this behavior isn't happening within a Search window, is it?
