folder appears on desktop

[John Savill]

I have seen other information about this and it appears
to be caused by the Quicken application, do you use this?

Try right clicking on the link to Quicken, select
Properties and change the Working folder to where the
program resides, e.g. c:\program files\Wuicken2003.

Regards,

John

Hi, John - and Richard.

Yes, this is a tiny file that Quicken creates over and over again. I've
deleted it dozens of times from a number of locations, but it always comes
back. And I can't tell that it ever went away. It may speed up Quicken by
some fraction of a second, but I can't tell that deleting it slows Quicken
down.

Richard, there is a fairly active Usenet newsgroup at
alt.comp.software.financial.quicken.
