can not delete folder in Vista

Hi! I can not delete dolder from my Desktop. The name of this folder is
__MACOSX and I have it from Apple web site (iPod presentation in). I can not
move, rename and cancel this folder. Do any budy have idea how cancel this
folder (my OS - Vista Business).

1. Type CMD into the start/search box, then right-click the CMD entry in the
Start menu and choose 'Run as administrator'. From the prompt type CD
%userprofile%\Desktop and press Enter, now type del name (where name is the
file to be removed, e.g. abc.def) and press Enter. This should remove the
file. If it does not, then keep the command prompt open and
2. Hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager. On the Processes Tab, select the
explorer.exe process and end it to stop the desktop. Go back to the command
prompt window and retry the del command. Now go to the Application Tab of
Task Manager and pick 'new task'. Enter explorer.exe and click 'OK' to
restart the desktop.

To get the CMD prompt, I should have said "Click Start > All Programs >
Accessories and right-click Command Prompt, then ‘Run as Administrator’. "

The folder I am trying to delete is the Start Folder which isn't liste
in the userprofile\Desktop. This folder showed up on desktop after
rearranged some items in Programs (Start --> Programs). Do you have
way to remove this Start Folder from the Desktop

Thanks for the reply, appreciate the effort especially when I am lost.
After spending quite some time trying to delete the Start Menu folde
that showed up on the desktop after I rearranged some Programs in m
User folder, restarting the computer failed to bring the folder back t
the desktop. I will miss XP. Thanks again, Ken Goodwi
