Thanks.

A Google search on this supposed help-file retrieves nothing what-so-ever. I have since deleted the file and restarted my computer. However, at startup, I still receive the shutdown command prompt. I had to do a few restarts... had to physically place a plasticine marker on my monitor over the 'x' of the command prompt so I could keep clicking there to bypass it on the next startup!

The file, however, does seem to be the one that was taking up all of my space as I now have 33.7gb of space again and I am not noticing any problems as of yet. But as I said, a Google search retrieved nothing and the file was not present on either my dad's or my brother's computers.

So now, I need to fix this damn shutdown command prompt.
