>>Anyone ever get a zero byte length folder in W2K? If so, how the heck do you delete it? I seem to have gotten one and cannot find a way (yet) to delete it. Any ideas appreciated!

>I don't know about the Win2K part but some 0 length files can be explained by a newly created and still open file. Data is written to the buffer but the buffer hasn't been flushed yet. It shows as 0 bytes and it is locked so it can't be deleted. I've had to find the process that had it open, stop it and then delete the file (if it was still 0 bytes).

Larry,

Already rebooted and checked all that stuff. I'm kind of hoping I'll be able to locate a low level editor to remove the entry from the disk table.

Ughh..

Best,

DD
