Can't Delete File

Try booting into safe mode. I have been able to delete
files in safe mode when no other way would work. Reboot
your computer and hit F8 a bunch of times before it starts
loading and you'll get a menu with boot options. Select
safe mode. Good luck.

I have a URL file buried in Favorites which was added by
clicking "Add to
favorites" some time ago. It ended up with an extremely
long name. Now it
is undeletable. here's what I've tried without success.

1. right clicking the file and selecting "delete" -
nothing happens

2. Same as above, but going to the folder holding the
offending file, and
trying to delete it. I get the message" cannot delete
file "filename".
cannot find the specified file. If I hover over the
folder, i get a tooltip
"The folder is empty"

3. Opening a DOS window, using CD commands to get to the
appropriate
directory - it gets to the next higher level, then tells
me there is no
sub-directory.

Short of reformatting the drive, what might i try?
