Thanks for the reply. A KB article would have been nice but from my own experience there doesn't seem to be much about.

Can anybody tell me the order windows uses when a user deletes a folder?<br />
<br />
For example, say I have a folder which contains many different levels of subfolders and files. If a user clicks delete on the folder then in what order does Windows start deleting the contents? I know that the actual folder is the last thing to be deleted but haven't a clue what goes on in between!<br />
<br />
Any links to knowledge base articles which give more details on this would be appreciated.<br />

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
