You can download FileMon from <www.sysinternals.com> to monitor all
fileaccess. It should be possible to see which program creates the folder.

Something is creating an empty folder named 'FALSE' on my desktop. I delete
it and it comes back the next time I use the net. I've ran spybot and
ad-aware twice to no avail. I use McAfee virus scan. I need to be able to
tell what is creating this thing.....it's properties give no clue. Any
help?

Ingeborg: Thanks! FileMon worked. I now know that a program, TC2000, is
the culprit.
