cd a friend gave me and he gave me the rong one its like a 100 word icon name

to long to delete to the garbage bin and when i try and rename it to make it
smaller it just says its to long. If any one knows how to help me please do

In Start Menu\Programs\Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and choose
Run as Administrator. At the prompt, type:

toolongofaname.ico, for example, toolon~1.ico. Then type:
