They are in the directory of several of my logical drives and no I can not
determine what program created them. I tried to open them with several
diferent programs such as Adobe Reader and Notepad to no avail, I even tried
Index Spy software. I have not tried to delete them not knowing if they are
important or not. They all are listed as files with a 4KB size and all have
a backup of themselves. I am using XP w/SP2.
