Recently I needed to remove a shared folder and found it contained files with extremely long filenames. Unfortunately, Windows was unable to rename or delete the files.
For the solution, I found two options. The first is using Robocopy. Create a new empty folder. Run Robocopy and set the source as the new empty folder and the destination as the path/folder you want to delete. End the Robocopy command line with a /purge.
The second solution is using 7-Zip. If you don't already use this as your zipping/unzipping tool, you should. Open 7-Zip File Manager and navigate to the problematic folder and perform a Shift-Delete.

Terminal Server 2003 Font Rendering
An issue has come up with Server 2003 and font rendering when connecting via RDP. In my case, users are running a Microsoft Access-based application and the text is very difficult to read.
In February's Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released update 3013455. In that update, there is also a "known issues" section which mentions this exact problem of text rendering, and also link to a fix.
In my case, the fix solved the issue.
