Folder wont stay deleted :(

I'm having some trouble with a folder that wont stay deleted on my desktop. I created it as a central location to store music I was going to burn, so naturally, when I was done, I deleted it. I thought it was fine until much to my surprise, I saw the folder, now empty, had come back, and continued to come back no matter how much I deleted it. I don't believe this is spyware/virus related, however it is an annoyance.

Things I've done to try to remove the folder include:
1)Repeated deletings (after a few minutes, it returns to the desktop)
2)Moved the folder to another location and deleted (returns to desktop)
3)Moved folder to a floppy and formatted the disk (returns to desktop)
4)Scanned with Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Hijack-This with no unusual results (I can post HT log)
5)Cleared system restore (I'm trying anything now)
6)Checked Desktop key in registry for anyrhing unusual (nothing that I can see)
7)Made sure the file wasn't read only

Does anyone have any ideas on what's happening?
Thanks

The parent program is recreating it.

Does it reappear in Safe Mode?

Do you know if any applications are linked to it?

 

1) You mentioned it was created by a parent program. No other program created this. I made it straight off the desktop as a central location to store my files.

2) I have deleted the folder in safe mode, and it appears to be staying away this time. I will post again tomorrow to make sure it reamains gone after a few boots.

3) No, this folder is not made by, or linked to any program.

 

Something must be linked to and creating it. There's really no other way it can appear.

Anyway, hopefully it won't come back.
