Hi Gerald.

You didn't follow my instructions to the letter.

Keith said
|Make a note of its exact location because DOS |doesn't recognise long filenames.
|Once you find the exact directory just do a search 
|something like

dir *.ur?

|That should list all files with a .ur extension.
|Once you see that file listed then

|del filename as its shown

Make a note of the exact folder name. Now you saying its on your desktop well that 
is c:\windows\desktop folder. So at the C:\ prompt in DOS type in

cd c:\windows\desktop

The prompt will now say C:\WINDOWS\Desktop now type in dir *.ur? and 
see what it shows. This works for me so I don't know why it won't work for you. The 
* means all files and the ? is a wildcard meaning any type of character. Because 
you have said its 

From a Railway Carriage. Stevenson, Robert Louis. 1913.
A Child_s Garden of Verses 
and Underwoods.ur________-___-

Then it should show all files with a ur as the first part of the extension.

I've just typed these command under the Windows MS-DOS Prompt and it works, 
so it should work in true DOS.
