I came across this article recently when i needed to delete a file that had a trailing space in its name… In case you are not aware it is normally not possible to delete files with spaces in the name because windows by default strip any trailing spaces from the command you are running… so if you need to delete that pesky file that you just cant delete you can use the the “del” command so long as you use the “\\?\” escape character at the start of the file name:
example
You want to delete “C:\temp\filename “ (note the space at the end.) then the command will be (including the “”):
del “\\?\c:\temp\filename “
More info at You cannot delete a file or a folder on an NTFS file system volume

A totally awesome short cut key for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008… if you press F7 in command prompt you see all the previous command lines that were run in that windows… Super COOL!!!

Lot of people have asked me what to study for the Hyper-V exam so I thought I would post some helpful hint for passing…
First of all this exam is easy if you know virtualisation in any way shape or form you are half way there. Other than that the courses
below will cover pretty much 100% of what is asked in the exam… (I have had confirmation from someone else who did the exam that this is all you need to read to pass).
Here are some other sites you can go to if you want to be extra sure however…
There is also a 70-652 exam study guide coming in the next few months that Orin Thomas has done some work on… I will upload the ISBN# of it as soon as i get it…
