This article was previously published under Q65901 SUMMARY
You may experience problems deleting and displaying empty directories with
Microsoft Windows running on a Novell network if the SHOW DOTS=ON line is
not in the SHELL.CFG file. Specifically, you may get the following error
message:
Error Deleting File Cannot delete <drive>:\<directory>\*.*.
Cannot find file; check to ensure the path and filename are correct
This error occurs when you attempt to delete an empty subdirectory using
File Manager on a Novell NetWare server if the SHOW DOTS=ON line is not
specified in the SHELL.CFG file. The variables <drive> and <directory>
above would be replaced by the actual drive and directory name that you are
attempting to delete.
