I have this kind of problem all the time with movie files that I download from Kazaa (not always, but often enough).

Knowing DOS commands can come in handy!
I would agree as long as you've gone through all the Windows Explorer possibilities. Using DOS is fine, but if Windows inserted a DLL file in that folder for a program currently installed, it can cause major problems. You'll keep getting weird errors.
