: Those two files, and two other folders all "Don't exist".  Windows says

: YYYY is the odd file name, like:
: 00.mpd.[00

Now you know how they do lfns :-) They are special, technically not 
proper, file entries. What ever you do DO NOT run ndd version 8 or less. 
norton utilities 9 wil supoort win95 (i believe). If you value your lfns 
dont try and get rid of the files. You get 5 gig reports because the 
files don't follow the standard fat fields so you get overflows and every 
mucks up. Mind you if you diskedit your disk it is scary looking. lots of 
huge files highlited in red. Use the win95 scandisk and optimize and not 
ndd or speedisk until verion 9.

Sorry i can't help much on the other problems.
