Here's a puzzler: a folder is being created every couple of days on my parents' WinXP desktop. It's always empty, and it's always called 'buble'. The name comes from a folder that they DID have on the desktop once, featuring the music of the singer Michael Bublé. The folder was deleted but this fellow keeps coming back for an encore. Each time, the newly created folder is dragged into the recycling bin (which is subsequently emptied), but buble returns after a day or two. The path to the folder is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop
Any ideas?
PS Yes, there are endless possibilities for puns about Bublé's songs and this phantom folder. A prize for the most imaginative may be forthcoming, if you're very lucky.

Try a system restore to an earlier date before this happened; hopefully this will help us exorcise that stubborn phantom.

Get Regedit up (Win key + R), type in Regedit, Find under Edit. Delete any 'buble' found.
If youv'e got ERUNT run it first.
