Cannot delete file with long name

I have some data which was recovered from a client's machine. I was working
through it and found a problem when attempting to delete some odd temporary
internet files. These files have very long names and when you right click on
them the content menu only has the options Open and Send To. If I try to
delete the file by selecting it in Windows Explorer and then hitting the
Delete key there is no response. If I select a problem file and some normal
files, attempting to delete causes the Windows Explorer shell to crash. If I
attempt to drag a problem file to another folder it fails.
I can delete the problem files by deleting the entire folder they are
contained in.
Anyone know any details of this problem?
Thanks
Dave
