Re: heavy duty file/dir tool 4 windoze?

Knoppix (aka the easy way to get a bootcd with ntfs-3g going)

I have experienced a few odd occasions of inaccessible files that you
may struggle with

a few notes from file issues I've had:
 * total path+filename greater than 255 characters causes problems
with weird results for Windows
 * possibly a virus
 * partitions mounted as folders rather than drive letters are murky.
 * network drive mounts are murky
 * i had unkillable files showing up in MS word recent docs that were
stored in bizarro hidden folders (not like the normal ones), had to
track their location down in the registry
 * it's windows, run and hide. (or run and read, in you case - boom *tish*)
