Randall,

Can't help you. It is not a Windows 95 file and I could find no mention of it in the Win98 SE area of the Microsoft knowledgebase. Perhaps it is associated with one of your applications.

Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason.

I have the same problem. I have deleted the file after being infected by a Trojan virus but I'm unable to find a backup copy of the file. What was the solution the worked for you?

Thanks for your help.

Whew, it's been awhile since that one. I hate to sound totally ignorant but I'm not sure that I remember. If I'm not mistaken this was the very first virus that ever infected my PC {By the way I'm running a PII Dell Dimension XPS R350 w/ Windows 98 OS} and if my memory is correct I believe as my last resort I wound up reinstalling Windows 98 afterwhich the problem was solved. In fact, I'm sure that my first infection required the reinstallation of my OS. (but was this my first infection?) I think the reason you're not finding the file on your backup disc is that it's probably embedded in one of the files on that disc and will be replaced once you run the setup program again. I hope this info helps you out and I apologize for the lack of knowledge on my part.

Hi Corbin
If you'd like I can look in my sys. when I get home from work to see if the file exists and send it to you via email. Let me know.
Randall

Thanks for your reply, Randall. I was really hoping that I could find a copy of the file without having to completely reinstall my operating system. I've talked to Dell Support and looked everywhere on microsoft.com and have had no luck finding a copy of the file or even information about what the file is for.

I think I'm going to try to get someone to send me a copy of it. I'm running Windows NT 4.0.

Thanks again for your help,

Corbin

That would be great. Thanks, Randall.
