   I got a problem with the 'del'-command.
   I've got a certain file, which I can normally list with 'dir',
   but which, if I want to rename it, copy it or delete it cannot be
   modified.  DOS says: "Cannot find file"

First, run CHKDSK on the disk.  All OK ?
Certain messed-up directories could cause this.

First I thought of having the READ-ONLY bit set (in which case you could
do ATTRIB -R FILENAME.EXT), but a read-only file can be renamed or copied.
Perhaps some other weird combination of status bits could cause this ?

Also, have you added device drivers into your system ?  If the name of the
file is the same as an installable device driver, DOS will attempt to call
the device driver when you try to access the file.  This, however, normally
produces an "Access denied" message, not "Cannot find file".
