What happens if you drag the file to the recycle bin?

it trys to delete the item instead of sending to RB deokat.......Right click on your recycle bin then select properties and be certain that there isnt a tick in  "Do not move files to the recycle bin .........Remove files immediatly when deleted "
That sure sounds like your problem.
What spyware software are you using ? Perhaps you manually deleted something you shouldnt have .

let us know

dl65  or a third party is deleting the files.......and not storing them in the r/c bin.guys thx for the help but the problem was the vx2 virus very nasty bugger no spybot program can get rid of it it is a hijacker that packes about 4 diffrent trojans and it buries itself deep in the registry it is possible to delet but it was easier to reinstall windows. I have beaten alot of spyware and viruses before but this one beat me VERY BAD  VBUT AGAIN THX FOR THE HELP ANYWAY
