| 128631 | 2003-03-16 10:51:00 | Have a corrupted file which I think was originally a Pagemaker file. It has defied being deleted as it cannot be read, have tried going to DOS to get rid of it but is still there. The filename is corrupted, and cannot be opened. How can I get round the objections of being deleted, running Win 2000. it is a big file and is being a nuisance. Thanks for someone out there. |

| 128633 | 2003-03-16 12:32:00 | Just thinking out loud, how about making a new directory (folder), moving the file to that then using a genuine dos boot disk to Del [dir name]/*.* Other than that, I recall there are utilities out there for killing reluctant or corrupted files. Try a Google search. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
