Help needed with undelitable folder "ZZZZZZ..." and related files

Hi!
I need help to delete "ZZZZZZ" folders and related files that changes into undelitable files after a first attempt to delete them.

I have Windows XP system pack2, and the error messages I get, when trying to delete those files are:

Impossible to delet a2service.exe, no authorized access.

I first saw this problem after download music from SoulSeek... and now, other folders, I'm trying to delete, turns out into those ZZZZZZ folders (the folder name changes after a 1st attempt to delete it)

Could someone please help me with this?

Thanks a lot for your brain force,

Mel

If you go here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...t.svl=featured
you can download movefile. It can schedule deletions at the next reboot. When a file is in use, you can't delete it.

More importantly I think you need to investigate what's making the folder in the first place... It sounds highly suspicious.

Try deleting the files in safe mode.
Might also want to check wich running applications are associated with the files in question.

Sysinternals' Process explorer and autoruns tools are a great help
