Con is a reserved device name for "console" and is probably why
you're having a problem with the file. If you can't delete it in DOS
as the others suggested, you might try scandisk. Mabey it will pick
it up as an invalid name. (but I wouldn't bet on it)

The only bad spam I have found is one mildly pornographic jpeg that is
in the folder with this music folder.
It does have a long,long, filename with lots of nasty words but it
begins with "con.HARDCORE~...ETC ETC)
When I am viewing in Explorer,
I can not right click it and get the dialog box to come up that would
allow me to delete this file. It just "blinks" as it is being selected
but nothing happens.
It is "grayed" out like it's a hidden file but I can double click on
it and it will load in a viewer.
