Thank you again Andavari & Tony! I used HijackThis and when my pc rebooted~up popped the sign-on window that had been gone for a couple of years (log-on thingy w/ pass) so I restarted again-that was gone-but that darn file is still there. I tried doing it a second time and Hijack doesn't seem to want to accept the file again. If you can think of anything else for me to try-please let me know. I'm trying not to be discouraged,but this file is insane. Thank you both again. Pam

Hi All,
Thank you Andavari, Mike and Tony once again. Andavari~I followed your directions exactly as to the clean.bat 2 separate times and sure enough. The file still appears. I still appreciate your help.
Tony~Please excuse my ignorance but on your last post about the autoexec.bat-when I opened it-this is what it says:
@ECHO OFF
rem
rem *** DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! ***
rem
rem This file was created by the System Configuration Utility as
rem a placeholder for your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Your actual
rem AUTOEXEC.BAT file has been saved under the name AUTOEXEC.TSH.
rem
My question is-do I add the @Echo Off,etc. before the 'echo off' listed above or do I go to that file mentioned autoexec.tsh? I just want to be sure I do this correctly.
I'm not sure if the new info I learned will help either-but here goes. I have "RegSeeker" and I decided to do a search of files for "DC382" and sure enough it DID come up as C:\Recycled\DC382. The next line says "size: ob Attr: d - Date 5/09/2006 Time: 11:11:12
Then I tried to delete it & this came up "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in My Computer by clicking View and then clicking Folder Options." I do not understand what that is telling me to do.
I have a drive-"D" which I've never used as it's NT and I am clueless. This is a refurbished Win95 & NT business Dell that came preloaded with Win98 I've had for 4 years. Is it possible that the "D" is talking about the "D" drive (NT) as when I try to open D in "My Computer" it says "recycle bin" only as to contents.
Again I thank all of you for your fantastic assistance, as well as patience with me.

Thank you both so much again....but... I entered exactly as you suggested-same thing still. I even tried it again after that and still the same ole same ole. I searched my pc to death too and googled,etc. can't even find a "DC382" reference. I did check out the link you posted, Tony, so I guess, for today I have to take solace in I am not alone. I just looked and I think I posted my logs to the wrong area. Again, thank you. I'll keep checking back. Take care. Pam

Hi Tony, Thank you too for replying. I tried the ms-dos and after I typed the cd/deltree recycled-it kept saying "too many paramters" (which btw I do not know what that means) so then I tried leaving the 'd' off of recycled-but nothing happened. After I restarted once again-sure enough-that same message is there. Now the message is even on my disk cleanup button on the "c" drive. I followed the instructions, except for "Ewido" as it says it's for Win2000 or XP and I am running Win98-if it's safe to try-I will if you think so. Now I'll go to the other topic and post the logs. Thanks again! I am willing to accept any advice. Pam

Hi~Thank you in advance if you're able to help me!
I tried unistalling & reinstalling CCleaner-nothing changed. I have no clue where this comes from. Running Win98 with all current updates (to best of my knowledge);cable (broadband) modem.
This message will not disappear. I did a search for this so-called file~unable to locate it.
Each time I run CCleaner this message pops up and then I click ok. It still takes CCleaner 2 times with message popping up each time, to delete recycle bin. Can you suggest anything to get rid of this message?
Again~thank you for listening!

Hi Tony (and Mike-lol-now I'm really embarassed)
Tony-you, I have discovered, are brilliant (btw) as I've seen a few pages from another site you're involved with (unless you have someone with the same name). Never underestimate your helping me. I just got impatient and nuts with that file. I went back into my RegSeeker-which has several search functions-searched for that file-found it-then went to find "where it was located in the registry."
It was in 3 keys-HKCU/Software/Windows/Current Version/Explorer\StreamMRU; HKLM same thing except last was 'UserShell Folders'; HKLM-same except for last being 'shell folders.'
Did a search on Google for the exact HK'-word for word-came up with several sites-several pages later.
Sites I felt were legit (on the up and up[like CCleaner here]) I'd used a year or so ago when I crashed and had to learn how to install win98 from scratch and I knew very little, if anything prior to that.
Anyway, after finding the same solution in at least 2-3 sites- I seriously said a prayer first as I, for one, know the danger of playing with the registry. I deleted those keys; restarted several times and so far so good. NO darn file and everything seems to be as it was before. CCleaner is back to working perfectly! When I right click on C (properties) I can use the disk cleanup with no darn DC382 file showing up. It is GONE!!!!
I guess I just followed my instincts as to whether or not the advice seemed trustworthy.(and was willing to take the risk)
**I would not recommend anyone else try this unless they were like you, Andavari-who are experts, and Mike-who I feel is very knowledgeable.**
As I told Mike- to the best of my memory- this is the first forum as to pc's I've ever posted to.
I'm impressed with all of your knowledge and willingness to help others. I hope that someday I will learn even 1/10 what you seem to know and can apply that, as well as help someone else.
I really was feeling I was in PCHell with that file as I use CCleaner about a dozen times a day (give or take).
It's a great program and I believe I am addicted to using it-so for me, getting rid of it was not an option.
Thanks so much again. I'll be coming around still. I still have my messed up registry nad mismatched files-but the major issue is solved for now. Pam
