How to delete a reserved filename dir?

by sabatogz . Updated 24 years, 6 months ago

Do you have any idea how to remove a dir called com1. I have tried all the standard tools, because the file is named a windows reserved name “com1” that normal tools do not work.

del \\.\e:\ftp\com1 does not work. ::: bypass checking for reserved filenames

rm com1 does not work. ::: rm.exe is a posix utility.

Any ideas?

1000 points for the right answer!!

Thanks
