Odd...XP makes copies of JPG's automatically when I try to delete. Ed 12/30/2008 9:19:38 PM I'm currently running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 Service Pack 3. Whenever I try to select multiple pictures (jpg's) to delete using the CTRL key and mouse, as soon as I hit delete after selecting the pictures, windows makes copies of all the files I selected within the same folder. I looked in the folder options and didn't see anything about auto copying upon delete! Any help is apprecitated. Ed -- Thanks for your help.

That happens if your mouse left button bounces (Multiple contacts with one push). Caused by a dirty switch. A new mouse will cure the problem. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com --
