Then I suggest you try del "D:\Users\Dave\Documents\Personal\CV\~$rriculum Vitae - 09 June 2007.doc" on a command line and see what error message is produced by the shell.

Update: Having seen one of your other replies, try doing:

attrib -h -s -r "D:\Users\Dave\Documents\Personal\CV\~$rriculum Vitae 
+- 09 June 2007.doc"
[download]

And then the unlink or del.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
