Sorry to take so long to reply. I got involved on other things and forgot that I had even asked the question here until someone emailed me and asked if I had solved it. And I did try rootkit revealer before I posted the original message. I had show hidden and system files on. It turns out what I had to do was turn off "Hide protected operating system files". When I turned that off it showed up and I could delete it. That probably also explains why setup couldn't delete it. I'm not sure where this extraneous version came from. The date on it was just a few weeks ago. Thanks for the help. Your suggestion put me on the right path. -- Dale King -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
