Hi:
I have a file on my desktop that won't go away.
It doesn't have an extension, it is zero bytes in size, and zero bytes on
the disk.
When I try to delete it, I get an error message Cannot delete file: Cannot
read from the source file or disk.
If I try to change attributes, or copy it, I get
Lets try the usual Microsoft Answer, have you rebooted?

Unfortunately, it's a bit tricky finding the desktop from inside a DOS
box, but maybe from there the DEL comand might do things that are not
possible from the GUI.

Hi Maciej,
I've been freelancing in book production for over 25 years and file
imaging for some 14 years.

Well, the reason I want to switch from W98 I'm currently running
is that I have to reboot to many times a day. Usually when I'm
about to save my work. So I want something more stable.
2k Pro is certainly much better, if not perfect.

Sorry, I also do a lot of video work. NTFS supports big 2gig+ single
file sizes. it is not uncommon for me to build a mpeg file greater
than 1 gig. FAT32 has limitations on file size.

Going from Win98xxx to XP Pro is a good thing to do. Be sure to use
the NTFS file system. I run a PIII 800 with 512mb RAM and have had
good luck with imaging.
