You can't refer to the filename from Windows because of the colon (:),

obviously assuming that you have the normal "A:" "C:" and now "The
Platinum Collection (disc 1:". Good on you, MS!
You might be able to use wildcards from the command line, because they
are not implemented by shell-expansion - globbing is done by the
individual command. From the command shell cmd.com try
rename The* SomethingElse
and see if that works. If not, use another OS - perhaps linux in an
emulator like VMWare Player, you canhand the USB drive over to the VM
and it'll be detached from Windows and re-presented to the Linux
image.

I had awful problems with moving this file, created by a cd ripper from
metadata in freedb
Various-The_Best_Of_Totally_Wired/10.B#E*_Someone-Be_Someone.mp3
Don't these damned muso's think about how their names will look on a
filesystem when they come up with these half baked names? :-]

One of my music rippers has created a directory with the unfortunate
file name of:
The Platinum Collection (disc 1: Greatest Hits I)
It is on a usb drive formatted as ntfs and this was most likely
created while connected to my laptop. It is currently connected to a
windows server.
I can neither get into this directory, rename it, or delete it!
Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?
Kerry.
