dear people
i am a newbie here. thanks for the membership!
i have a system - hp pavilion with windows me, 192 (128+64)MB ram, 14 GB HDD.
the problem is there is a folder in the root of c:\ drive with the name of "windows" with three more characters. the character after the 's' in windows is an 'e' with two dots on the top, an underscore and a 'c' with a comma attached to its bottom. (i hope you got that!)
i am unable to delete it because windows sas that the folder is moved or deleted or the network connection is not there and to press f5 to refresh.
no juice.
this folder just won't go away!
will be very grateful if someone can help me get rid of this folder.

http://www.answers.com/topic/ascii-chart has a table of all ASCII characters and their values.

They do sound like extended ASCII chars
What often does the trick is a rename using the single character wildcard ? for each odd character
e.g. in this case
REN Windows??? spud
would rename the errant folder to 'spud' you should then be able to delete it:
DEL spud
