File system error (1026)

I was attempting to backup my 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.

Thanks for the quick reply,

The file name is "$23.01 Battery Technology" It is (was) a link to
http://www.gtsi.com/search/guidedsea...r ec+10&Nty=1
(which is a battery product).

I did a Properties on the file, which indicated that it was a "File" instead
of an "Internet Shortcut." (That's why I attempted to repair it by adding
..URL to the file name.)

I have already created a new link to this URL ($23.01 Battery Technology.url
(with the .url extension hidden), and it works fine.

I can't see why the name of the file could be important.

Thomas,

It wasn't the name that I was interested in as much as the extension. Though
something like Desktop.ini would catch my eye, also. As it is, you have what
appears to be a corrupt file. This KB article *might* help, if you ignore
the "Causes" and simply try the suggested fixes.

Might also try restarting in Command Prompt Only mode and drill down to the
Favorites folder, and then delete the file there.

Thanks, that's pretty much the same info that I found at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q208082/

I keep reading this info over and over, but it doesn't seem to apply to my
computer or to what I've been doing on it.

As I replied to Bill Watt, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=208082 doesn't
seem to apply to my
computer or to what I've been doing on it.

Buffalo (in microsoft.public.win98.performance) gave me the solution. Using
DOS, I renamed the corrupt file, which fixed it.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I'm sure that might have worked. Instead, I renamed it using MS-DOS, which
fixed the corrupt file, without having to delete it. Back in Windows 98, I
renamed the file with a .URL extension and it works!

The corrupt link file was not in itself important. But I did the above
exercise in order to learn how to possibly fix any other corrupt files in
the future.

Thanks for the idea.
