"c:\program" file

[Guest]

Hi there, any help would be great
Whenever I turn my PC on and load up windows XP it says that a file has been created called "program" on the C:\ drive, so it looks like C:\program. This is not a directory, meerly a file located on my C drive called "program". The little text box says that if this file is left there is may cause problems and asks if it should rename the file to program2, or program3, and so on. Once having done this you can check a box to not perform this check again at startup.
Now, I renamed the file once, then checked the box accidentally. Now everytime I turn my PC on this "program" file is created and it's stopping some things from working properly on my PC

Does anyone know what creates this file, and how I can get the PC to do the auto-check again at startup so that it renames the files itself
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks.

I was getting the same thing yesterday, not doing any more. Still got no
idea what it was. Scanned and search my computer using various programs for
anything nasty, but found nothing that shouldnt be there
