Default Impossible file name under XP Pro

When IE imported internet links from another browser into the Favorites
folder it copied one with a slash mark in the title.

Now it is causing problems and not IE or anything else I've tried will edit
or delete the name. It always displays an error saying, "cannot read from
the source file or disk ".

Is there anything to do but ignore it? At one time I would have thought
about editing a character in a HD sector, changing the slash to a letter or
space, but I don't even know if there is such an editor for windows.
