Folder Naming Problem

A few months back, I created several different folders with my photos in them. When I try to access them now, it says this:

Can anyone help?

Rename the folder to remove the ?

"?" Isn't valid in a windows path name.

Meaning that after renaming the folder you still can't open it or that you couldn't rename the folder in the first place?

The real question should be what the hell did you use to create those folder names in the first place? You could try using the same app to see if it will allow you to delete or rename them. If you have Nero installed then try using Neros explorer type window when creating a compilation to see if that will allow you to rename/delete the folders.

try browsing it with loads of different file managers

7zip has one, could try with that...

basically you can't create a folder with a ? in it
