Wife did something that put a hidden file ("Fwd_ On A Lighter
Note.............,") on our XP SP2 desktop (C:\Documents and
Settings\Roy\Desktop). It has nothing declared in its properties, except
that it is a 0 KB file.

Please, how do I get rid of it?

Thanks for any help.

It sounds like your hidden desktop setting. Go to any folder click tools,
folder options, view, look down on the hidden folder icon and check , do not
show hidden files or folders. see if that helps.
 
Thanks, Paul, but that would prevent me from seeing other hidden files and
folders. Wouldn't actually get rid of it.
