Hi,
Previously I had Canon S200spx BJ Printer, which i dont use it now, so i removed the printer and its driver. This printer had created a folder in C: BJPrinter, which i removed but it comes back again, the moment i restart the computer this folder appears in the drive, i have tried to delete it a number of times but it reappears.
Is the folder created during installation of printer or is it a virus, any suggestions friends.
Thanx in advance

Try from add remove hardware or device manager.
Ok This is how i did
First i went to Start-Printers and Faxes and selected Canon printer and clicked on delete
Again from Add Remove Programs i uninstalled the Canon Software
Shutdown the computer and Unplugged the printer and restarted it
I also removed the folder from Program Files
After a Week or so i just enabled 'show hidden files and folders' and then i saw this folder in C drive, i deleted it.
Again after a few days i saw this folder in C drive i again deleted it but it reappears, i even tried to remove from safe mode. This folder is Hidden one
There is no problem with it but i want to know why it is not deleting
I request to help me
Thanx

There is no hardware installed only the folder i not deleting
I'm wondering if the uninstaller isn't complete and it's still leaving things in the registry. Go to regedit and do a search for the name of the folder that keeps reappearing or the printer model or something like that.

I do :) press print screen(may be prnt scrn) on your keyboard(above the insert button). that takes a pic of the desktop and puts in the clipboard. Then go into paint and hit ctrl-z. save it and post the attachment here.

Ok this is the screen shot of the C: drive
According to Canon's support site you should run the Uninstall from Start, All Programs, Canon folder and not Add/Remove programs. Of course you'll have to reinstall to do this. If that still doesn't work try emptying the folder first' or Shift + Delete (bypasses the Recycle Bin).

that's the thing i every time do to delete a file or folder
I always press Shift+Del, its become a habit
Wat shall i do shall i reinstall the printer and uninstall it from Start-allprograms
That's what i'd try.
I also agree, that seems to be the best option...
