I've been having problems with some files that are about 215mb each.

Now, I've figured out that these files have been somehow "tainted" by the
explorer zip extraction process. If I extract it from the ZIP using winrar I
don't experience this problem.

Normally, I can right-click and select delete.  Get the question Are you
sure?, click Yes and poof - it's recycled....

Now, these tainted files, if I right click and select Delete, I do not get
the "Are you sure" question, it just immediately goes into the "calculating
time remaining" progress window.  But they never, ever complete or delete (I
left it running for an hour once - hard drive is chugging away).

If I right-click and select properties, I get nothing.

If I use a program like sysinternals accessenum and check the folder, all
rights are fine.  Within that utility if I right click on the file and
select properties, that works, but there is nothing unusual and it appears
that another shadowcopy is made everytime I attempt to delete it.. Arrggh !

Anyone have any clue as to what my problem is?  (I'm leaving myself open for
pot-shots).....
