Can't Delete a file!

[lil domii]

in the command prompt, from the directory that the "undeleteable" file is stuck in, try this command:

Del [insert start of filename here]* <---wildcard

the trick was that the file ends with a space which makes it hard for windows to deal with for some reason. Try this, it definitely works. I was stuck with one of those [torrentsworld.net] files and...

Del [torrentsworld.net]*

or

to solve, follow these steps:
1. Open up a command prompt (run cmd.exe from the start menu).
2. Navigate to the folder that the object resides in.
3. Run "dir /a /x /p" to display the contents of the folder, including hidden files (/a) and 8.3 filenames (/x).
4. Find the 8.3 filename of the object to the left of the regular, long filename.
5. Run "ren <8.3 name>" to rename the object, "del <8.3 name>" to delete it if it's a file and "rd /s <8.3 name>" to delete it if it's a folder.
Note: If renaming to a long filename, make sure to enclose the long filename in quotations. If that fails, temporarily rename it to an 8.3 name and then rename it to what you want outside of the command prompt.

Fixed - thanks!

It appears Windows Vista and its bugs got the better of me.

In other news, Malwarebytes reports hijack.displayproperties as a threat - it isn't.

glad you got it fixed
