Does anyone know what a file that pops up on my desktop is all about? All it says is ~ its a 180 - 190 kb file and windows doesn't know how to open it. Thanks. |

Discussed hundreds/thousands of times here. Have you taken a look at
past postings. A bug that microsoft knows about. May even be a KB about it. Delete it and forget. Hope this is useful to you. Let us know. rms Stinki wrote: Does anyone know what a file that pops up on my desktop is all about? All it says is ~ its a 180 - 190 kb file and windows doesn't know how to open it. Thanks. |

I did do a search on the support sites for this but found
nothing. I've been deleting this for about 5-6 moths about once a month. Just needed to check. Thanks. -----Original Message----- Discussed hundreds/thousands of times here.

As I remember, it is a bug in OE's address book. Make a change in it and all
the temp files wind up on the desktop. At least, I think that was the explanation I read somewhere. -- David Nimon "Rob Schneider" wrote in message ...
