For a files that were at least "undeletable" I remember I have been using a feature of Total Commander to switch format of files displayed to a Short/Long form. Not all files give up for me this way, but half of them did, though.
Yes, I had forgotten about short names because I had been working on *creating* illegal files, not reading them. Picasa does in fact work on Windows when presented with *directories* that have illegal names, and I suspect this is because it uses the short names and the expands them before display. (It doesn't seem to work with them on Wine yet; that's on my to-do list to find out why.) - Dan
