Is this file needed on my system or can i delete it ??

Thanx for your help

If I had to guess I'd say no. Only half a dozen hit on Google for that file name. If in doubt move it to a new folder that you create and leave it there for a while and if no problems encountered on your system after a while then decide if you want to delete it or not.

Done what you suggested.

Will keep an eye out and if i donn see anything funny willl delete it

Thx for your help

Regards,
Dave
