I know that David, but my question was WHERE is it coming from. 
I HAVE to delete it.  Like I said:

It's not a good feature in this case.

There are certain working files for Windows that are re-created
automatically after they are deleted.
Since you are dealing with either a DLL or a SYS file, This is 
actually a
good feature.
