How do I delete a file in command prompt? It wont let me
move/rename/delete/edit ect... when in 'explorer' mode.

It is classified as a "file", it's in c:/documents and
settings/owner/favorites/ and it is 0kb, and is a
favorites shortcut in IE, except it isn't actually a
shortcut, it's the original file.

Any other ideas other than removing in command prompt
(which I read in a different post.)

Thanks.
 
Delete from a DOS prompt.
You will have to use the 8 letter dos format.

DEL [drive:] [path] filename [/P]
ERASE [drive:] [path] filename [/P]
[drive:] [path] filename Specifies the file(s) to delete. Specify
multiple
files by using wildcards.
/P Prompts for confirmation before deleting each file.
