I have a NT4 Server box that we still use for servering our website. Hey,
it works perfectly fine.
ANyway, I was poking trhoguh some directories and found some that explored
wont let me access. I am the admin. The message I get is that the folder
I am clicking on doesn't exsist.
I use to know teh dos commands to rename the folder to a name Windows can
tolerate, but I forget.

ANy ideas?
 
There may be file system corruption. Try scheduling chkdsk /f

Or if malicious entries then from a command prompt try;

del \\.\Drive:\directory\filename
(Note: the period between \\ and \)

Also

dir /x
and try deleting them using their 8.3 short names.
