two problems: can't delete a folder and problems sync'g favorites

Hi-

I have been sync'g with my laptop, desktop, (two partnerships) and my HP
iPaq for 3 years now and anytime I've had a problem, I've been able to
resolve it without having to reset the iPaq back to cold state...but now I
have 2 issues that I can't get resolved no matter what I try.

a) I have a folder under My Documents on my iPaq that I created called
Templates that I can't delete -- if I try from Windows Explorer or my laptop
or desktop it appears to delete but the next time I sync it reapers. If I
try to delete it from the File Explorer on my iPaq I get the following
message: "Can't remove folder "Templates": Access is denied. Make sure
the disk is not write protected and the file sis not currently in use."

Nothing is using the file.

b) I tried loading my favorites under Mobile Favorites and had them sync'g
fine. But then I had a problem with my desktop and now Active Sync hangs
when sync'g on Favorites only.

I have removed all the favorites from under Mobile Favorites but now Active
Sync goes through the sync but they all show up as unresolved. The only way
I can get past it is to unselect Favorites for sync'g but I'd like to get
back to sync'g it.



Any help on either or both issues would be greatly appreciated!
