Crack it open and have a look and see what is in it.

It's probably a log file. If so, sure, delete it. It may be left over junk
from installing IE7 if you did that.

You know - this is a good time to mention it? Chances are you have more
space than you will ever need. Old habits die hard but, really, do you
REALLY care? *grins*

If you don't then would you like to backup my systems for me? It will have
to be over dialup and is in the tune of about 3 TB now. *sighs* Please?

Really - if it isn't a hassle then look and see what it is and if it appears
to be something "normal" then just leave it. What's 50kb in the scope of
things other then old habits? Meh... I waste 100 times that much making
pictures of my nose pressed into the scanner in full .tif format. (Darned
beer.)

Anyhow... Back on track before they spank me and tell me I can't talk in the
update group any more...

Really - if you have no problems having it there - go ahead.

You mention moving it - okay. If you do AND something wants to find it then
remember where you moved it to.
