WebPoolFileFile can be deleted...but it will REAPPEAR on the next boot (soft or cold).....
....delete it by exiting to real DOS (not drop-to-dos).....
BUT, ...it'll reappear on the next boot, which suggests it's written into the Registery..(someone
who knows more about Registry, pls search for it)...
...i'm REAL suspicious of this file file because:...it has no extension (to indicate
what type it is>it's NOT a text file)....it is not "read-only" attribute, yet it
can't be deleted....
...name suggests it has something to do with internet....somebody went to a lot of
trouble to make it un-deletable......
so, is this another of BillG's spy pgms...like the one that reports back what music
you play? (pls copy responses to my email)...lou
