Open a CMD window and CD to the folder that has the file. &nbsp;Then type:<br />
<br />
DIR /X<br />
<br />
Then look at the &quot;8.3&quot; filename for the folder. &nbsp;It may be something like &quot;TESTX~1&quot; or whatever. &nbsp;There may be characters after a &quot;.&quot;. &nbsp;Whatever it is, type:<br />
<br />
RMDIR whatever_name_you_got_from<wbr />_dir_x<br />
<br />
and you should be able to delete it. &nbsp;If there are files contained in the folder, you'll have to delete them first. &nbsp;If they are named &quot;funny&quot; also, use the same technique, use RMDIR for folders, and DEL for files.<br />

Open a CMD window and CD to the folder that has the file.  Then type:

DIR /X

Then look at the "8.3" filename for the folder.  It may be something like "TESTX~1" or whatever.  There may be characters after a ".".  Whatever it is, type:

RMDIR whatever_name_you_got_from_dir_x

and you should be able to delete it.  If there are files contained in the folder, you'll have to delete them first.  If they are named "funny" also, use the same technique, use RMDIR for folders, and DEL for files.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
