I have a few files in my documents that have invalid file names, either too
long or un-allowed character. None of the normal renaming conventions work on
these files, and the system will not let me delete, move, or do anything else
with these files. I do not need them. They are causing me much pain when I
back my stuff up etc. HELP! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Using XP
