Desktop Icon named ~

[S G Nanos]

Both on Windows 2000 computer and WIN XP Pro computer, I
get Icon with ~ showing up on the desktop and it returns
later even if deleted. Any ideas on what this is?

Thanks

Hi S. G. - It's a copy of your Address Book (caused by a glitch in a recent
OE hotfix). MS is aware of the problem. You can either ignore it, delete
it (it will probably be recreated the next time you make an Address Book
change), or hide it - or you can just be happy to have a backup available.
Just rename the extension to .wab and open in Notepad to see this.
