There are few namesless folders (with out name's( i.e Blank )) that we could not rename and remove ,these folder's might got created by some batch jobs, but don't know how to get rid of them.I don't know who configured the system and tested batch jobs. When deleting or rename these folders getting error " cannot read from the source file or disk ".
The OS is windows 2000

Hi

Are the folders empty?
Did you have Norton Anti-Virus on the system?
Some other Anti-Virus that has been removed?
Can you view the properties of the folders?

Sounds like they may be part of anti-virus program that has not been removed properly.

Try removing them from the command line. In W2K go from Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt.

Alt+Enter makes for full screen format.
