Or you accidentally have a recursive directory - one that contains a
shortcut to a folder higher up in the chain. These are easy to create
in Windows but nearly impossible tyo remove.

I have one such folder in my work PC(*) that I renamed to
"BAD FOLDER DO NOT USE" and have to remove from every
backup I ever make because it causees infinite looping.

(*) I will point out that I didn't create it - it was a malfunctioning
application that I was using in Beta... And if anyone knows how
to remove it I'd be very grateful!
