If I hadn't tried that already before posting here I should be slapped with a wet fish, the folder names will not allow changing.

LotR you helpful wee thang you thanks again. Ok when (i am assuming the other guy has this same prob) you open another file (subfolder etc) on the LW prog, then realise it's not needed "we" cannot then delete (or change it's name) and it sits there uneeded for weeks, thus in my case irritating the hell outta me?
