    This is what it looks like:


    This is the delete dialog:


    This is the error I receive if I try to copy and paste it to my desktop:

    I've had those before... it was annoying as heck. You have one, which isn't so bad. I had over 3,000 of them mysteriously appear at once. Took me weeks to get rid of.

    I used Spybot's secure shredder and that fixed the problem. Thank you
