all the pictures in the my pictures file keep getting duplicated and when i try to delete the coppies they just get duplicated over and over again until i have hundreds of coppies of them in the my pictures file and i cant get rid of them.

Not sure if this is your problem, but when I'm very busy and not concentrating, I sometimes leave my finger too lone on the ctrl switch whilst dragging a file, this causes the files to be copied.

Have you tried navigating to your directory and using the menu system. edit, select all - edit delete (obviously this will only work if you wish to delete all files in directory.

failing that open a command window, navigate to correct directory and use del command.

del *.* /p will delete all with confirmation so you can say no to files you wish to keep (long winded if you have huge numbers of copied files. Anyway del copy*.* should remove all copied files.

Hi Terrythetrain

Sounds like it could be a virus. Have you done an online scan with Trend Housecall?

Other than that, I would check set options within XP.
