Re: Deleting a folder created with trailing spaces?

A demo I downloaded of a popular DVD copying program did me a huge
favor. I burned a DVD onto my hard drive, onto my deskop no less,
and the folder that was created was somehow made with trailing
spaces in it's name. I have tried everything, everything,
everything to delete or rename this folder to no avail. Microsft
support suggestions fail, every type of sharware that purports to
delete stubborn files has failed miserably. Windows does not
recognize it's existence, except to show it sitting on my desktop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I may even send you
flowers.

Unless you tell us specifically what you've tried, it's not worth it to
make suggestions that you're bound to shoot down.
