    Hi folks, a funny thing happened the other night when I tried to unhide my Appdata folder. I was given this messege.

    I gather it's in the "Users\**\Appdata\Roaming\" folder. I don't recognise the characters.
    any Ideas as to what this POS could be?

    There were various games using some DRM types that leave a licence file named like that, BF2142 was one.

    That's probably it so, I do have battlefield 2 and BC2 on my machine.
    I wonder why I received the error though I suppose it must be the remnance of a bad uninstall or something.

    Kudos to you for recognising it!

    Should I remove the screeney?

    Nah, the files tiny and harmless. I never did find a good way to remove them.
