   I have in my hard disk a certain number of files that I can list with    
   "dir" bun cannot open, copy, delete, change-check attributes or rename:    
   attrib, copy, ren etc all pretend that these files don't exist.   
   A common characteristic of these files is that they all have an accented    
   letter in the file name. They also tend to have a fantasy date as the    
   last access (such as 2025). They are mostly .doc or .xls files    
   originally fron winddows, but also some pdf.   
      
   how domi get rid od them?
