| How to delete a file I am trying to delete a printer but when I click on "delete" The following box comes up: "CONFIRM FILE DELETE Folder contains items whose name is too long for the Recyle Bin. Do you want to permanently delete it?" When I reply YES The following box comes up: "ERROR DELETING FILE OR FOLDER Cannot delete - The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name" My OS is WinXP. What can I do to delete this file ?      |
