A thousand thanks, Mikey. 'deltree -y' did the deed, indeed. What a
useful little program that is. Shows my ignorance of Win95 & DOS.
To Michael Chase: yes, I did try to rename in Explorer - no go.
To Michael Hirmke: I ran a full disk check, autocorrect errors, in Win95
with no result.
Thanks to everyone who replied.
Yours faithfully,
Peter
