Try exploring the options in fsutil.exe. Some (untested!) suggestions: fsutil.exe reparsepoint query <filename> fsutil.exe reparsepoint delete <filename> If that doesn't do the job, you probably need to figure out *exactly* what type of NTFS object you're dealing with. Some search terms that might get you started: NTFS plus one of: hard link soft link reparse point junction point There are tools out there that make dealing with some of the more exotic NTFS file-like objects easier, but I'm not too familiar with them. You'll probably need to explore some, and probably learn more about NTFS than you ever wanted to know :) -- Jerry _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
