    This file has kind of been bugging me. I think it first appeared after a windows update. I'm running XP Pro and the file is located in Local Disk (C) and is titled: d5e3b72906524458bb8f6ae74e5c

    I'm guessing I can delete this, but I want to make sure. Google and the search on here come up with zero results.

    Yes...it is just a temporarily file used during Windows Update.
