Two things that I've run across that cause this: 1) Corrupt file/directory
2) Incredibly long (way longer than the usual 254 characters limit) path specification for the file/directory In the first case, a 'chkdsk /f' is needed, and probably a restore of the file after that, because it might be deleted. In the second case, you'll have to shorten the file name and/or the directory name(s) that lead to it, so that it's closer to (and preferably shorter than) the 254 character limit. This condition is quite rare, in my experience, however - I consider case 1) much more likely.
