Hi....
This one is bugging me to no end!!
I have an icon on my desktop - who know WHERE it came from - size 0 bytes,
with a name "CAEBE71A.". The system does not recognize it as a file, and
will not let me delete or rename it. Through DOS, it shows as a SYSTEM and
HIDDEN file, but it won't let me change the attributes to try to delete it.
On the desktop, the ICON properties show SYSTEM and HIDDEN as unchecked!
I've tried seeming everything - DELETE on BOOT, multiple XP tweak programs -
my PC is SPYWARE-FREE, I've tried deleting in SAFE mode, couldn't find any
reference in the registry, etc. etc. etc.
I don't care if it's deleted or if I can hide it - but now it's a quest.
Anything short of having to reinstall Windows XP, I want this %^*&%*(^
GONE!!
If anybody has ANY ideas on this, it would be more than greatly
appreciated!! Thanks!!
Andy
