I seem to have a hidden file that keeps coming up on my storage cards and
Ipaq storage. It is "ignore_my_docs". It's attributes are hidden and
archive. I cannot change them unless I pull the cards out and put them in
my card reader. I put the card in the reader, change the attributes and
delete the files, and they do go away. As soon as I put them back in my
Ipaq the file come back. Is this a function of the operating system or is
it some sort of a virus? Does anyone know how to change these attributes or
even view them for that matter on the pocket PC's?

Well that is simply awesome. Cleaned it up right away. At worst I am glad
it is not a virus or such and at best it is no longer annoying. Thank-you.

The OS does it. To see/change attributes and hidden files consider
getting a more featured file explorer. Resco File Explorer is good and
well featured (but isn't free).

This subject has been mentioned in the past, it may be worth looking
through the newsgroup archives to see if there is anything relevant to
you.
