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
