You can't refer to the filename from Windows because of the colon (:), which is confused with the drive-letter-separator. Windows is obviously assuming that you have the normal "A:" "C:" and now "The Platinum Collection (disc 1:". Good on you, MS!
You might be able to use wildcards from the command line, because they are not implemented by shell-expansion - globbing is done by the individual command. From the command shell cmd.com try rename The* SomethingElse and see if that works. If not, use another OS - perhaps linux in an emulator like VMWare Player, you canhand the USB drive over to the VM and it'll be detached from Windows and re-presented to the Linux image. -jim On 26/07/07, Kerry Mayes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
One of my music rippers has created a directory with the unfortunate file name of: The Platinum Collection (disc 1: Greatest Hits I) It is on a usb drive formatted as ntfs and this was most likely created while connected to my laptop. It is currently connected to a windows server. I can neither get into this directory, rename it, or delete it! Any ideas on how I can get rid of it? Kerry.
