Does anyone know what this file is?  It has started appearing on all my
partitions since installing MacOS 8.  It appears in all views, as far as I can
tell.  ResEdit gives the following information for it:

Type FOLD
Creator MACS
Size 286 bytes

It doesn't seem to do any damage (!) but I don't like nasty unidentified files
littering my Hard Drive!

It's part of the way that OS8 works but it should be invisible.
For some reason your Mac has made it visible.  You could use
ResEdit to change the visibility status, I guess.
