The problem was the deliberate use of reserved file names by the perpetrator, and which cannot be deleted by Explorer. It has nothing to do with file permissions either. RM.exe did not work. I eventually deleted the directories by using syntax which bypasses the Windows reserves word checking, e.g.: rd \\.\c:\path\directory Regards, Adrian. ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
