What a fantastic memory you have? Or filing system? I guess it was about that time that I was having problems sending emails with attachments, uninstalled Norton and installed AVG. Also had a problem with the Security Center and had to fix that. I did not notice this weird stuff in My Documents though until my Greeting card program went bad and I uninstalled it and tried to re-install and started getting the Error 1335 saying the cabinet file 'Wizards.cab' is corrupt. I think I would have noticed earlier because I went through the My Documents folder and organized it a little better before moving the folder. I was also working on fonts about that time too. I never thought about the possibility of there not being something there before. Maybe not. I just went looking again and there are probably 50 of these unidentifiable--just a number and letter file such as this _0F72D09AED1B45DABBE7E61480C65C46 I went to properties of one of them and copied and pasted the above. Properties show only that number and no extension. File sizes vary from 15.04 MB to 2.81KB! I just don't know what to make of all this. I also looked in my card sent folder and there are a lot in there I cannot open. They are still identified but they just won't open. Most of those I can relate back to Greeting Card Factory version 5 that I had to uninstall. The loss of all those copied cards is not terribly significant. It was just a way to be sure I did not send the same one year after year. It may be significant if I have lost other saved material that I cannot identify. The files in my sent folder that will not open are type FGC.
