Hi,

thanks ... but it did not work ... on the other hand it
helped to get some more insight about the problem. In
effect I cannot create any folder anywhere with the
name "Temp" and if I do so the folder with the name "new
folder" that I tried to rename to "Temp" cannot be
deleted after that. What can be the reason for this
behaviour???
