Maybe you could do it in 'safe' mode?

Is your root filesystem NTFS or FAT32? If it's NTFS, get the NTFS boot floppy and delete the Content.ie5 directory from the command line. If it's FAT32, use a Windows 98 boot floppy to do the same thing.

My first reply included a direct link to the floppy download in the body of the message -- and, no, IE does not need to be reinstalled. The directories under content.ie5 are recreated automagically the next time that you run the program.

I have the same problem, how can I scan the drive c: in DOS mode? I type commands like dir, keyb, and it doesn't work. I think there's something that escapes to me, but i'm very stressed for this for days ago and now my mind is overlocked!

Oh sorry, now i found the solution... The thing i was trying to do was delete a .htm file that was unable to do, for this i downloaded Killdisk,but it only worked for scan or delete ALL the disk, and i was looking for delete one file only, but at least, i found the program UNLOCKER, it was great!

Thank you for your attention, this is a great forum with nice people!
