Sounds like an excuse to switch over to XP-Pro upgrade?

Subject: [PCTECH] RE: "Bad" file
 
Thanks to all for the hints - I'll let you all know what happens.  Just one
comment - to those of us who are not Linux literate the "just create a Linux
boot CD and ...." type suggestions could do with a teeny bit more
explanation <grin>
 
  >> 1-right click, rename the file, reboot, delete it then.
 
Right or left click causes Explorer to consume vast amounts of CPU and do
nothing!
 
>> 2-boot in safe mode, try deleting it, or renaming it.
 
For some reason Win2K will not offer the "Safe mode" menu unless it spots a
problem during boot - no idea why.
 
>> 3-google for the file name itself.  This may be a known issue and have
fixes
available.
 
I doubt it - see answer below.
 
>> 4-boot from your system CD and try renaming/deleting it.
 
System CD?  You don't think that $2,500 IBM laptops come with such an
expensive option do you!  Dreamer!
 
>> just for the fun of it, what is the file's name Jon?
 
~WRF2693.tmp - it was one It thinks it is 150+Mb but I doubt that is real.
