Files won't delete

11-09-2007, 01:29 AM

Using XP SP2 machine and connecting to a network folder. When deletinga file
they simply gray out and don't delete unless you click refresh or go
completely out and back into the folder. When connecting with another XP
machine, deleting files sends them to the recycle bin as I wish the other one
would.

Any ideas?
