Re: HACKED!!!! Can't delete folders

Hi,

Thanks for posting!

I understand that you cannot delete folders resident on Windows 2000
server. If I have misunderstood your concerns, please feel free to let me
know.

The MVPs have provided you several helpful methods. Please help me know the
results of them. Additionally, I would like to provide you with the
following method for your reference:

1. Start a command prompt with start->run->cmd.exe
2. Change to the directory below the one you're trying to delete. Now run
the dir command with the /x switch. What this switch does is allow you to
see the 8.3 short filenames for these folders and files. You can then use
this short filename to rmdir your foders.

Note: for the switches, please refer to rmdir /?
