Um, what's this crap about? unable to delete

[Spooner]

I got this mp3 that evertime I click on it, explorer.exe crashes

i can't even highlight it long enough to delete it

the hell am i do?

 

[KingNothing]

Delete it through the command prompt, maybe?

 

[her209]

cmd

 

[Heisenberg]

Boot to the recovery console and delete it.

 

[Spooner]

i will try through command prompt, but anyone know why this would happen?

 

[Spooner]

how do i find out what the DOS name is of the file so I can delete it though cmd prompt?

It displays them with windows names, but won't recognize filename with spaces obviously

it might be an attribute of the dir command nowadays...

or just try deleting the actual long filename, who knows it could work.

i tried doing the long filename, didn't work.

how do i list the command attributes?

man, i forget all these things 😕

 

[skace]

del "file with long name.mp3"
del filestart*.mp3
dir /x *.mp3
read
etc

shweet. thanks... it worked with the quotes

that was weird

Is the file size 0k? I've had 0k mp3 files before that when selected would cause explorer to try to do the play bar on the left hand side of the explorer thing, but instead would just lock. Everytime it was 0k, it would lock unless I selected more then 1 at once.
