i now have a system folder which shows up in the "my computer" folder with all the drives, the control panel, printers, dial-up networking etc, only this 'system foler' has no name, and if you right-click on it you get cut, create shortcut or delete which none of them can be done.
i think this seems to have replaced another file which was there before which was called 'rights wallet', whatever that was. any ideas anyone?

OK, so i've restored my registry and i now have the file back as RightsWallet only it still says system folder. the weird thing is the icon isn't a folder icon, its a standard 'unknown file type' icon, i.e. one of those windows pictures

I have folders that appear in random folders. They all are named CWMC000001.tmp. The number is always a bunch of zeros with a different ending number. And they show up in the oddest of places. Any ideas where they're coming from?

i think you just hit the nail on the head titsworth, it definately has something to do with that (i have a vague memory of that). err, i think i still have it installed somewhere. its a rubbish program aswell.

yea, it is a rubbish program and the sucky part is it never fully goes away - you're fucked for life (well, till you reformat). the sucky part is after you uninstall the daft punk stuff you can't even reinstall it.

Simply do a triple right click on the system folder to access the prompt that will allow you to name it. Name this folder "my computer". Now use the "search files" tool in your computer and search for "my computer". It should find the regular "my computer" folder, but it will also find the new "my computer" folder you just created. This will create a nexus in drive C between these two files, but it's important to export this nexus to drive D. To do this, just create a short cut for the original system folder file, but define it's parameters as fluctuating (if you choose constant you'll have to start over so be careful here.) If you do this correctly (then obviously split the rights wallet file into two seperate files, having one read "rights wallet" after the third zero in the 4th line, while the other is left unchanged.... but I figured you'd know how to do this part) it should work. I don't know why it's giving you so much trouble, it's seems pretty simple.

i did, and i feel badly about the whole situation.

ok kiddies here I am the expert ready for all your experting needs......
What you are going to neep is a boom stick, grease, bananas, womens underpants, scotch, and a cadilac. Allright here we go....... get your mom and tell her theres a fire on the roof!!!!.... while she is panicing and running all about.... start shooting all the windows in the house with your boom stick.... take off all your clothes and put the underpants on!!! ....... allright... here is where it gets a little tricky.. tell your mom to run out and get the cadilac in front of the house..... and that the fire is spreading to the kitchen!!!...while she runs for the car..... your going to grease yourself up REAL good..... grab the bananas and throw them at the neighbors window and yell something like "Watch ME.. I am part of the crabmen army, FEAR ME!!!!!".....throw the scotch bottle over your left shoulder.... count to ten... and light a match on yourself..... and run to the caddy
and there you have it!
people say I am good at experting and that I am a godsent..... but then I just tell them.....Its ok lady.... I am just doing my job.....

Mickey, you should get "Steamboat Willie" and animate your avatar. That would be cool.
