New Icon

[Jackl]

Every so often after spending time on my computer I find a
new icon on the desktop. Where the name should be there is
a "tilde." The size is 265 KB and the path is
C:\Windows\desktop. If you try to open it, you receive a
windows asking which program you want to use to open it.
If you choose wordpad or word, you receive a lot of
meaningless characters.

No big problem when I delete the icon, but is somewhat of
a nuisance.

Thanks
