I noticed a P_x file with no extension (3753KB)in my C: root directory this morning. I tried deleting it in both Normal & Safe mode to no avail. This message appears "Cannot delete file File system error (1026)". I also tried creating a new folder and dragging into the folder and I get a message "Cannot move file System error (1026). The only thing I did was to defrag my registry using System Suite 4.0 which I've done numerous times before. The file attributes are all unchecked and there is no MS-DOS file name. The time of the file corresponds to the appx. time I defragged the registry & rebooted my computer. The computer is running fine and I've run a full virus scan and Ad-aware and no viruses or spyware was detected. I'm using Windows 98SE & IE 5.01SP1. Anyone have any ideas what this file is and why it can't be deleted. I can delete files to the Recycle Bin and delete them from the Recycle Bin.


Note: This P_x file also shows as a hidden file(has the faint icon)but no attributes are checked under the General tab(the only tab)in the file Properties.

Thanks in advance,
