Using Windows XP/SP3. I have some folders on my desktop which are empty that
I'd like to get rid of. I put them there myself but even when I delete them
they return when I restart the computer. How do I get rid of them? Renaming
& trashing doesn't help. Nor does emptying the Recycling Bin before
rebooting.

I don't even know where/how to search for this problem! I've tried as many
versions of the question as I can think of.
TIA

Maybe this:

30. Windows XP Doesn't Save User Settings

Also look for the folder name on the hard drive.. it might be listed
under the Administrator Desktop, and repopulating from there.. just a
thought, no reason to think that will work, really.
