    Boot to safe mode, log on as administrator and see if you can delete from there (using windows explorer) .

    Have you tried a System Restore? If you can remember when you modified the folders, then this should sort you out - just jump back to a point close to the offending date/time.

    If that doesn't work, try Dr. Delete. This can delete all kinds of stubborn files/folders, quite often without a restart too. (In fact, in XP, a log-off will more than often suffice over a restart.)

    You can also use MoveOnBoot to delete the folder. Just open MoveOnBoot and drag the folder into the command line box in MOB. Select the delete option and it'll be deleted the next time you boot your computer.
