   There might be an obscure character in the name that the system thinks ends the   
       
   name, so it finds no match in that software.   
      
   A delete or rename with a wildcard (whatever the DOS for it is) might work;    
   though probably the folder is okay and you only have to rename it to something    
   legal.   
      
   linux for finding obscure characters might be   
      
   ls | od -c   
      
   (Cygwin would let you do that, if you install it.)
