I'm a little late getting in on this thread but, I've
also had the same thing happen to me and it's usually
after I've done an online virus scan....I don't know
if there's any connection or not...

upper right corner turned down and a flying window in
a rectangular shaped
icon. Also there is ~ under it.
Properties says it is 247 kb and is MS-DOS name. I ran
a virus scan and it
was clean so opened it and it went to an "open with"
option. I chose
notepad and that was too small so went to WordPad and
the stuff that comes
up is gibberish--lots of little squares, etc. Acrobat
Reader says '~' is
not a supported file type or the file has been
corrupted (i.e. sent as an
attachment and was not correctly decoded).
Guess it is no big problem but I am curious about what
this is. I have
deleted it numerous times and it keeps popping back
up. I checked the
recycle bin and counted 8 of them since I last emptied
the bin. I usually
leave my computer on 24/7 so this may be just
happening at boot up. I will
pay attention from now on and see if that is the case.
Does anyone know what this icon is for and why it is
persisting in residing
on my desktop?
