The main problem is that the perpetrator deliberately uses Windows reserved device names such as "lpt1", "com2", "aux" etc. etc., and which have been created with Posix so they cannot be deleted from the command prompt with normal DOS commands. RM didn't work for me either - they seem to have had that one figured - but I was able to delete the entire guilty directory structure using dos commands that bypass the reserved name checks, e.g.: rd \\.\c:\directory /s Regards, Adrian Cooper. ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
