Copying Files

I'm running Windows X/P Home Version

Some times when a I select a number of files for Deletion, the folder is automatically populated with copies of the files as I select them. So for instance I would select a dozen or so files to be deleted and next thing I've got are copies of each of those files.

Do you know how to prevent that from happening cause I'm at my wits end trying to get it to stop doing that. It seems to only happen when I start selecting over 5 or 6 files for deletion.

Thanks for your help

Yes that is indeed a huge pain in the ass! And no I don't know if there is anything we can do to prevent it other than being very very careful what we do.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
