The problem is that //becker/c$/winnt/system32/dns/BOOT is not a real filename.
Changing to feature request.

how is it not a real filename ?!

[\\becker\c$\winnt\system32\dns]dir

  just in case there was some confusion...

It's not a local, regular file. You can compare it to something like http://host/file.txt
To delete a file like that, you need some network-stuff to handle the connection. That is not (yet) implemented in PHP.

  yeah but a call to standard unlink() will work...

  unlink( "//rhodes/d$/test.txt" ); 

  from the same or another machine works just fine.

  i suppose u'r saying that the '//' will signal a wrapper to call the proper unlink code, that's different, but it still doesn't seem like a feature request, when a previously added feature was 'unc pathname support'...

  but oh well, i can fix with a wrapper around php unlink() that can use exec() to get the job done, but that's obviously not a great solution...
