hia
i was dling something from a pub earlier today
and without noticing, i managed to get a COM1 dir on my comp
so now i have a dir named c:\blablaba\blalba\asd\com1
ive tried to delete this *¤!"#!"#"! folder in 1000 different ways, but it still doesnt work
if i enter the folder, the task freezes, and i have to quit it with the task manager (i use win2k)
someone who knows how to delete this f*cker??
VERY annoying dir :D |

i don't use Win2k but you probably need DOS to delete this dir...try pressing "F8" right before windows is starting and select DOS, then type in
code:
cd \blablaba\blalba\asd\
deltree COM1
but that's for win95 and 98...if this "F8" thing doesn't work, make a bootable disk, re-boot and type in
code:
c:
cd \blablaba\blalba\asd\
deltree COM1
this should work if you are using FAT32... |

code:
c:
cd \blablaba\blalba\asd\
del COM1 --> "the filename, directory name, or volume syntax label is incorrect"
code:
c:
cd \blablaba\blalba\asd\
deltree COM1 --> "'deltree' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
damn.. i hate this dir! |

a friend helped me out
had to put up a ftp, and give him full axx, so he could use some raw commands (whatever that is) hehe
but it worked out :D
thnx for the tips though!

| the one and only way that always works for me when i cant delete certain annoying folders or files is to restart my computer in the safe mode. works like a charm |
