IE sometimes creates file names that are too long to delete via any normal
interface.

I once saw the syntax for deleting these names from a command prompt but, of
course, can't find it now that I need it again. It is something like "del
\?:\??\filename". As best as I can remember, the slashes and question marks
call into play a raw interface that can handle a maximum-length filename.

I've tried programs from such experts as SysInternals but even they can't
handle this one.

Do you know this trick?
