Hi,
        Is there anything in those directories you want to keep?  If so
move them to a temporary directory, if not, continue.  Choose Start, the
Shutdown, then Restart in MS-Dos Mode.  once in MS-Dos mode, do
ch\directory, where "directory" is one level ABOVE the begining of the
twenty-three directory chain you are trying to remove.  example if you
want to delete a chain starting with c:\dir1\dir2\dir3, use
cd\dir1\dir2.  Word of Warning, if the directory is long, you will have
to use the first 6 characters follow by a ~ followed by a number.  use
dir/w to see what I mean.  Once you are one level above it, type
"deltree directory" without the quotes.  In the preceding example, it
would be "deltree dir3".  Answer Y when it asks, and that should get rid
of the file and all twenty-three directories at one time.
