After a reinstall of Win2K and Office 2000 the following occurs every time I try to open my word-docs:

I run Win2KPRO. I have two users, both admins, on the machine - let's call them A and B. When installing AVG Free as user A, the "View source"-option in IE stops working but only for user A (applies both to main- and context menus) - the item is present on the menus but Notepad simply...

During a big delete-operation my machine shut down. After reboot most of the files are still present in the explorer and several of them cannot be deleted because the system does not 'find them' (message prompts for another path).
How can I force the deletion of a corrupt file/folder?
