[thelist] files on NT that can't be deleted

[David at softv.net]

what about opening the files programatically in a stream, and replacing
those chars  with different ones? Then you can delete them.

Subject: [thelist] files on NT that can't be deleted



got a web project where a client uploaded files to our NT server, but
there are characters in the file names that prevent us from deleting
them through windows (as explained to me by a sysadmin)...

i *know* i've seen tips and tricks to handle this, especially after
virus attacks...

anyone?
