Annoying icon appears on desktop
Our Win98 PC is on its last legs, but we need it for another couple of
months to serve as the reliable backup PC we've used for several years It had several problems that we fixed, incl making the slave drive the master and fixing the reset switch which really caused problems. In any event, we did a clean Win98, first edition install after re-partioning the "C" drive into one primary DOS partition and formatting the drive. All the hardware was setup and functioning. The only problem is, every time the PC is used, icon appears on the desktop that contains a cedilla (~) in a white icon with a windows flag. I remember some years ago that an IT person at my office, told me to delete one that appeared on my office PC...I did and never saw it again. But this one appears every time the PC is in use. I've opened the icon and looked inside. There is garbage in the folder but no text that I can find that would provide a clue into what the source of the problem might be. It doesnot seem to effect the system's performance Called upon my friend google and went to annoyances.org, but couldn't find anything. Anyone have a clue as to what this might be? Thanks. D. |
