-=PCTechTalk=- Fw: Re: software


Hi GMan,
Here is something more I found.
What I did is in "Control Panel" "Options" I put a checkmark at the subject
"Show hidden files" and than did a search again.
It came up with two new files when I did a search in "Containing Text
files".
Those two are: USER C:/Windows 1.153 kB DAT-file and the other: SYSTEM
C:/Windows 2.289 kB DAT-file.
I hope I explain myself well in the best English I can, -:))
Sylvia
