Please send me a screenshot of the directory listing, I cannot understand
why these would have a .TXT extension, are you 101% sure they are .TXT and
not .LOG extension, just because the icon looks like a TXT file does not
mean the file is a TXT.

http://www.MSExchange.org/
anyone else have a sugesstion what that file is? i
apparently had some diagnostics on minimal but only
for a week now, they are now shut off but it doesnt
explain the last modified date of some of these files
starting at march 29th and rangeing untill today, once
again they are files that start as E0000001.txt and
keep growing in hex increments at 5megs each
