Vile, u got me to thinking.  I did in fact copy and burn the errant folder to a cd . I ran one of the programs fm the CD (PS7)  I as a second experiment did the copy thing again and went in into the temp copy folder before burning and was able to copy/paste within it and create a new folder with in.  These described procedures cannot be done with in the original folder. 

I'm thinking, since I don't have much to lose if a complete rebuild is only possible way, I'll try to delete the entire bad folder then copy/paste fm the CD.  I'll make a restore point before the experiment but I'm not sure it would save me.  Vile?????????
