Was surfing the net....and went back to the destop and
had this on it
looks like a piece of paper with a fold down on the right
upper corner On the paper it has 3 colors red blue green
(but can't make out what they are or what they say under
them. Under the icon is this ~ I right clicked on it and
went to Properties and it says
Type of file: File
Description: ~
Location: C;/Documents and settings/owner/desktop
Size: 179 KB (183,486 bytes)
Size on disk: 180 KB (184,320 Bytes)
Created: Today, March 31,2002 1:09PM
Modified: today (Same as Above)
Accessed: " Same as above 2:29

Does anyone know what this is and can I delete it?
Don't know.....but I think I read somewhere at some point
of time it has something to do with outlook express but
really can't remember.....guess I'm getting old...
lol
Can anyone help me on this one thanks
