That's an invalid path.

A screen shot would have me answer the same so why not look for folders named "LastF" next time?

Time to search for that folder.

I see another member shared. I will share that I could do the following.

DIR I:*.* /s/a > somefile.txt

Now I can open somefile.txt and use the usual Control+F (find) that LastF.

Here's what to do
by | September 13, 2013 4:23 AM PDT

Do this if you have Vista or Windows 7 (you didn't say):
1) Click Start
2) Right-click Computer (or My Computer)
3) Click Open
4) Click on the I: drive
5) In the search box (upper right corner of window) type LastF
6) Press Enter
This search will find it for you. When it does, double-click it.

Good. We'll close this discussion now.

This discussion would only confuse everyone that didn't know about your run in with file/folder lock software.

I can't count how many try this without a backup copy of what they can't lose.
