Search results window bug?
-
This is sort of a developer question. I am cleaning up a project by searching for "obj" in windows explorer search window. It shows many obj folders. I can delete them one at a time but if I select more than one I get "Cannot delete file: Cannont read from the source file or disk". I can delete any of them singly but not more than one at time. I don't see this on all systems. What could be wrong?

Anything special (e.g., long, special characters) about the file or folder names?

They are just vs2003 output directories "obj" and so forth. Nothing unusual, and they can be deleted one by one. I use one other system that doesn't have this problem but it is windows 2003. I am having the problem on windows 2003 sp1. If I can't fix it, I'll survive but it's annoying.

Can you drill down to one of the folders from a command prompt and type: del *.obj Does that do anything different? Is this of any help?

I am trying to delete folders called "obj" or "bin", etc. in the search results window. I think it's just something funky about sp1 or some setting got mangled on this system. It works on the other system. Just annoying and I can't find the issue on google.
