SYMPTOMS
Under the following conditions, a file that you try to delete appears to be deleted, but is not deleted:
 * You are using a Windows XP-based or a Windows 2000-based client computer.
 * You are using Windows Explorer to try to delete a file that is located on an IBM OS/2 Warp4-based server.
 * You do not have permissions to delete the file.

When you try to delete the file, you do not receive any notice that the file-deletion process did not work. However, if you refresh the window, the file reappears. A network trace between the two computers shows that the OS/2 Warp4-based server is responding correctly back to the Windows XP-based or Windows 2000-based computer with an error code 5 &quot;access denied&quot; error message.
