I got it ppl,
I have this program called Folder Lock 7
and i had a folder called xxx locked with it
then i make three more folders called
xxxx, xxxxxx, xxxxxxxx and for some reason
Folder Lock 7 saw them and locked them up on me,
when i opened Folder Lock 7 and un-locked the folder called xxx
it then released all the folders that were lock by Folder Lock 7.

Thank you all so very much for your help
