I'm leaning towards the FAT/directory entry being corrupted. I found a reference on Symantec's site that discussed using DISKEDIT to delete a directory that is otherwise undeletable, by plugging that bit that tells the OS that it is deleted. But I don't know that deleting the directory that way automatically makes the files disappear (ala DELTREE). That will be my final gasp before I plug in the Win98 install disk tonight. db
