Safely removed; though there is no a warning on start-up that it cannot be found; I tried searching for it in the registry, and deleted (after backing up!) the only entry which mentioned it by name, something to do with Winload; but after a restart the message came up again, and the registry entry returned. Have I omitted to do something to remove it, or is it coming back from the, er backup? What do I do now? After removing the file, Norton reported the machine as clean; I then installed Sweep, which found three occurrences of it, in files called BAbypaul.bmp, but which Explorer said to b executables. Trying to delete these crashed explorer, but I finally deleted them from DOS. -- Andy Mabbett "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, feed him for life" - Chinese proverb (500 B.C.)
