Here's a pain-in-the-butt way, and I don't know if ncd or other
programs can see it.

Use a disk search utility (NU or whatever) to scan the disk for
the name of the directory.  When you find the sector that the
directory name is on, edit it.  It is at this point that you 
can do whatever you want, ie put weird chars in the name field,
change pointers to a bogus locations, or whatever.

The pain comes in that you will have to re-edit that sector 
and restore the previous values to
re-gain access to that directory.

Happy hacking,

Eric Cox
