Then I suggest you try `del "D:\Users\Dave\Documents\Personal\CV\~$rriculum Vitae - 09 June 2007.doc"` on a command line and see what error message is produced by the shell. Update: Having seen one of your other replies, try doing: `attrib -h -s -r "D:\Users\Dave\Documents\Personal\CV\~$rriculum Vitae +- 09 June 2007.doc"` [download] And then the unlink or `del`. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
