-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Strange Folder Created -- GMan

Judith,
    Open up Paint Shop Pro and go through all of the 
Options/Settings/Preferences to see if anything in there points to this 
folder (or to either of those two alphanumeric strings).  The folder may be 
locked by the program that created it, provided some part of that program is 
running all the time (and you most likely would not find it showing in the 
Notification Area (near the system clock)).  If you find something, report 
back so we can do a little research on it.

    If you don't find anything like that, those two strings of numbers & 
letters are registry codes (Class ID's) for something attached (or formerly 
attached) to your system.  Open up the Registry editor (Start > Run > type 
'regedit' (no quotes) > press Enter) and then go to Edit > Find and type in 
(or Copy/Paste in) the first of those two alphanumeric strings and then 
click on the Find button.  If anything comes up (neither struck a hit on my 
own system), investigate the left pane branch (any folders (they're actually 
called keys) inside the one it finds) using only your arrow keys.  If you 
get movement in the right pane instead (up & down arrow keys select 
different lines in the right pane), do an ALT + TAB to shift attention to 
the left pane and try again.  Hopefully, you'll see something with a program 
name or the location of a file on your hard drive that can be investigated 
(go to the location, find the file and look at the Property sheet > Version, 
if available).  Even if nothing is found, repeat the process for the second 
alphanumeric string.

    If none of these ideas bears any fruit, we'll just be back to where we 
were before you posted.  Oh, and sorry for all of the parenthesis.  Seems I 
had a lot of clarifying to do in this one.         lol

Peace,
GMan
