Can't rename or delete a file - File system error (1026)
I was attempting to backup my Windows98 Favorites onto a floppy, when I got
this error message: "Cannot copy (file name) : Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name." The named file was without a link icon (the blue "e" with the arrow), which indicated to me that it lacked its file association. So I attempted to add the .URL extension. I got the following error message: "Cannot rename file. File system error (1026)." So I attempted to just delete the file. I got the following error message: "Cannot delete file. File system error (1026)." Now what? Until I fix "File system error (1026)," I am unable to do a backup of this folder. Thanks for any help. thomas |

thomas,
Please don't multi-post your questions. If you really think more than one newsgroup can help, address the initial post to all the appropriate NGs (no more than a few, please). That way, when we read it in one group, and it gets marked read, it gets marked read everywhere. For what it's worth, you aren't likely to find any better answer to your question than in the General Discussion group, provided you give us a chance to fully understand your problem. -- Gary S.

You are probably overloading the floppy if you are putting files
directly in the root drive. A floppy only hold 224 entries in the root and long filenames will take 3 or more entries. If you want to backup favorites, you only need one file. Use IE-File-Export and create a single html file. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.html On Wed, 7 Sep 2005 22:18:11 -0600, "thomas" wrote: I was attempting to backup my Windows98 Favorites onto a floppy, when I got this error message: "Cannot copy (file name) : Cannot find the specified file.

In the Header section labeled "Newsgroups", click on that label and you'll
be offered a dialogue that allows you to address to any number of NGs (but, again, please keep it to a minimum.) I've answered again in your other thread, and I still suggest that you try the suggestions in that KB article (one you already know about), regardless of the fact that your "cause" doesn't seem to match. Or follow Alan's advice and skip it for now. It's not doing anything else to your system. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User "thomas" wrote in message ...

As a test, I even attempted to copy (to a floppy) the single sub-folder
within Favorites that contains this "non-deletable" file - only 26 files in the folder. Same error message. I even tried moving the weird file out of the folder. Same error message. Thanks for the backup tip. I didn't know about using an HTML file for backing up Favorites onto a floppy. All my links now fit nicely in one HTML file and don't take up nearly the space that copying the Favorites folder does. But is there a way to organize my Favorites sub-folders alphabetically in this HTML file? I have lots of sub folders, and they appear completely randomly in the HTML file. Actually, the reason I put my Favorites on a floppy isn't just to back them up. I carry them with me when I travel. Thanks again. thomas "Alan Edwards" wrote in message ...
