Using Win XP Pro on a stand-alone PC. A file called
PDXUSRS.NET has appeared in my root directory with the
date 22 July 2003. I cannot find out what this file is
for. Should it be there and can I safely delete it?
Thanks, Graham

Thanks Sharon, I did a Google to start with, it would
have helped if I'd spelled the filename correctly. It
seems this is a Paradox file. I don't have Paradox but I
do have an applications that uses the Borland Database
Engine (BDE) and this is what creates the file. Mystery
solved.
