File shows in explorer, but not in DOS 'dir'

[markd]

I have a file in my ..\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files that I
can't delete. It shows in Explorer, but not in a command window 'dir'
command.

When I try to delete it from Explorer, I get the error:

Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk

Is there a way to remove the directory entry manually somehow?
I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP2.

TIA

I would think you have a hidden file that explorer will show if directed to do
so. To make it visible in dos you will have to use the dos command attrib with a
-h
So in the command line go to the folder where the file is and type attrib -h *.*
The file should then show
