invalid (pre 2000) file names

[Eireson]

I extracted files from a wimzip self-extracting file that
created files in a pre win2000 format that windows does not
recognize and so will not allow me to access or delete.

file name example:

D:\DOCUME~1\EIRESON~1\LOCALS~1\Temp

i attempted to use the win2000 cmd.exe but that doesn't
find them either.

has anyone any idez how to get to these files?

many thanks.

You need to use the command line as follows:

* browse to that directory
* use dir /x (you will see the SHORT NAMES)
* delete using the short names (quote them if invalid)
