Receive error: The filename you specified is invalid or
too long. Specify a different filename.

The file has already been saved and was delivered in a zip
file. It has been successfully unzipped but cannot not be
opened, renamed or deleted. Any workarounds? Other
programs that will rename or delete the file? I cannot
delete it from dos using deltree or del.

- Start a Command Prompt
- Navigate to the file's folder
- Rename the file with a suitable wildcard, e.g.
Ren "This is a *.doc" "My Holiday.doc"
