Hello,

I am trying to purge a cookie from my windows system and it has a very long file name. When trying to rename or delete it, I get an error message of File Name Too Long. It seems as though the creator of this cookie intentively created it to be able to be saved to a system, but a pain to remove.

Anyone know of any way to destroy this long file name pest without reformatting the hard drive? Cookie washers etc also cant get it to budge!!! If I can get this file name smaller, i am thinking that I can delete it, and I am an admin of this system, so its not a permissions issue causing this.

Thanks,

Dave
