Undeletable files
I have 2 files in Temporary Internet folder on a Win98SE machine that won't go away. They're GIF files...right-click/delete doesn't do anything (no error messages, either). They won't drag/drop anywhere (throws up a 'Cannot copy file: File system error 1026).
Any suggestions as to their removal?

Have you tried from DOS?

Also, try a Scandisk in DOS as it may find that the files are corrupted.

By the way, JV16 Power Tools took care of them for me, using the Temp files tool.
