Hi

I happened to see a file on my system today with the following text

630 5a8 WinMain
630 5a8 lpCmdLine: '/REGSERVER'
630 5a8 Run
630 5a8 lpCmdLine: '/REGSERVER'
630 5a8 nCmdShow: 10
630 5a8 leaving WinMain

What could this be, is it some one trying to setup a server, how do i
findout which file it has installed

TIA
Barry

The name of the file was C:YServer.txt.
I think it was Yahoo installing a newer version of its software
(automatically)
Yahoo did install a new version around that time

That is possible. If it is a txt file then there is no worries. Anything =
else related to this on the Hard Drive. If not I would not worry about =
it. You can delete it without any issues if you so want.
