Hi Friends!

I accidentally got a 'Sneak Peek' into the 'C:/Documents & Settings' folder of the my Windows account & it displayed 3 Weird looking files with 2 of these carrying .DAT as File extension.

Please have a look at the sequential screenshots & help me decipher the AUTHENTICITY of these files. The two with .DAT file extension displays a 'Warning' message on double click & the 3rd one is a O Kb file that do not displays an error message but displays a list of probable programs that can be used to open that.

Check out...!

[attachment deleted by admin]BEST to leave the Ntuser.dat files alone, they are an integral part of the system and can be found in each user account.

I have not found any INFORMATION about the odd named zero byte file. Is it protected by the system?

The Y9Y9 file is part of HP software/drivers:

You are running an HP system; the file is a temp data holder used by some of the proprietary software HP runs on the system to help the user 'experience a better more enjoyable computing environment'.

My System is already devoid of any such CRAP form HP! These Guys literary 'Suffocate' your PC with all kinds of 'System Choking' Start-up Items & Automatic Services!

I just rely upon a simple driver(that detects USB of HP 3-in-1 device). No Wizard, No Bells & Whistles!
