Apologies if this is an old question - I assume it should be, tho' I
haven't seen discussion of it here...

When in Word (ver. 5.00, running on an SE/30 with System 7) I go to
the open dialog box, I sometimes see a folder on my hard disk called
Move and Rename (it actually has two little symbol boxes in front of the 
name but I can't do them here).  It is invisible from any other
application or the finder, but with ResEdit I can 'visibilise' it and
it always turns out to be empty.  I generally chuck it away, but it 
usually reappears after a while.

I assume it is something created by the finder when I drop things into
my system folder and it suggests where they should go, but perhaps not.
Out of curiosity I'd like to know where this folder comes from and if
there is any fix to stop it being created (or to stop it being seen by
Word) I'd be interested, though it is hardly a problem.

Any advice or help?

Thanks in advance,
