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
Click on the name, wait, click on it again. It should be ready to rename. Try to rename, and if it "takes" maybe you can then delete it..
