It's strange that these files aren't even showing up at all when I look at the directory from a DOS prompt.

There are a number of OSS alternatives. Look for one of Kurt's posts, he posts about them frequently. Probably something like http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ or http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/fileutils.htm From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 9:14 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: weird file issue Don't see rm.exe in the Windows Resource Kit. I even downloaded it again and reinstalled, no joy. Am I being blind, here?

From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 4:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: weird file issue I have a user that has some files that are 0 bytes in size. The names of these files have all kinds of punctuation, and therefore, no real file type. When I try to delete them, I get an error saying Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk. Any ideas on how to get rid of these files?
