Just cleaning up my directories, and I found a file I can't delete - it has a rather long file name,

sky_advert;kwd=news;mag=3 ....

and unlike other files, selecting this one doesn't allow for cpoying, deleting - right clicking on the icon reveals two options, Open and send to. I can't even rename the file. I saved a page from a Computer Buyer article, but unlike other similar pages, I can't delete this one file. What's up?

I like the stamping method.

If you couldn't drag it, you could stamp on your hdd.

But thats silly!

I don't think there was anything wrong with the filename, other than its length - it follows the same format I wrote below before I gave up. Why, do you have a similar problem?

Heh, you can't even copy this file!

But never mind, I just renamed the folder it was in and deleted it. Dunno why it can't work as before...
