<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Windows XP ==<br /> <br /> === Delete invalid filename &quot;mshdmd.sys.&quot; ===<br /> <br /> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers&gt;dir /x<br /> 01/25/2013 10:36 PM 32 MSHDMD~1 mshdmd.sys.<br /> <br /> Dir /x will produce the usual Directory listing, but with an extra column<br /> showing the SFN (Short File Name, also called the 8.3 filename) before the<br /> LFN.<br /> <br /> Many LFNs appear to be valid SFNs, but are not, because they use<br /> undisplayable characters or some other technique. Dir /x forces the display<br /> of a valid SFN. Then you can use that SFN with the Del or other DOS<br /> command. (As usual in a &quot;DOS&quot; window, of course, type the command name<br /> followed by /? to see a mini-help file listing all the switches and<br /> parameters available for that command.) <br /> <br /> del MSHDMD~1</div>
