Can't delete shortcut

[Ron Yuen]

Help!

I created a shortcut to my desktop last night from a web-site and now WIN2K
won't let me delete it! It gives me a message that the file name is invalid
or to long. I tried to rename the file but it still gives me the same
message. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
