Hi,
I had the same problem recently under win98se. I
rebooted in Dos, did a dir search where the file was
to get the dos name of the file as it appears in dos
usually something like (blahbla~1); renamed it using
the ren command eg. (ren blahbla~1 blah) and then
deleted the blah file for being so rude. Do not use a
dos window under windows however because it won't work
there (win98 still in control). You must use the dos
option at bootup. This also works for those annoying
java scripts that turn up in the Windows Download
section (like bridge.dll) although you should follow
norton's advice on that one and get all the files.
