Default how to delete a folder with no name??

Hi, subratalok.

That file has a name, even if you can't see it. Open a Command Prompt
window (cmd.exe). At the prompt, type:
dir /x

That should show you all the files and folders in that directory. The one
that you named (alt + 0160) should appear with no name in the normal list of
files, but the column before that should show it as "0A00~1". That is the
Short File Name, also known as the SFN or the 8.3 filename. Now use RD to
remove that:
rd 0a00~1

By the way, you posted this via VistaHeads.com, which "slurps" messages from
the Microsoft public news server and relays them - and any responses - back
and forth. This relay often results in messages that are delayed or out of
sequence or simply lost. To "cut out the middleman", click he

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...ile_management

That one click should fire up your default newsreader (OE or WM or WLM or
third-party reader); create a News Account on the MS public server, which is
free and does not require you to logon; subscribe you to THIS newsgroup;
download the 300 newest posts; and display the latest message for you to
read. In other words, you will come right back here, but you will be
viewing these messages directly, rather than through VistaHeads' filter.
