I cant seem to get rid of a .JPG file that was downloaded to my computer. Whenever i click delete on it a messege pops up that says: "Connot delete file: the filename you specified is invalid or too long. Specify a different file name." It says the same thing when i try to cut it too. It wont let me open the file either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Exit to dos and delete it.

if you can, put the file into a folder and then delete the folder

Or , right click on it & rename .

As in response 1 exit do DOS (or run the MS DOS PROMPT in your start folder) then go to the directory you need by using the cd command (change directory). And when in the directory type delete *.jpg (and replace the "*" with the filename. Example: if the filename is "picture" and it's in the "My documents" directory go to DOS and type this: cd my documents del picture.jpg It could be that the command lines I gave you are not 100 % right but it's someway like that!

...or...start>find type in the first couple of words, select drive. Highlight the proper file, choose file>rename>or delete; your choice. Hope this helps.....ck

WARNING Try this only and only if the files are in a ISOLATED location (U dont need the folder which contains the JPEG files) BEWARE .... type deltree and the Directory DELTREE (Directory LOcation) Or else SAFE go to ms-dos mode and type the file name to be deleted Since DOS contains only 8char's a file name and 3 as extention it would easily convert any long filename to 8 chars thus asdfdfdfdhffhjhf.jpg may look like asdfdf~1.jpg try command del *.jpg or del each individual file
