    I've been syncing my computers (work and notebook) using DropBox, and keep important text data in LockNote files, but an hour ago I need to read my files at work, I'm surprised to see that suddenly all my LockNote files have become 0 byte files. I don't know if it's a blessing or not that I only have two LockNote files synced through DropBox...

    How it should be:

    And how it become:

    I haven't check my notebook yet, but I hope my notebook still has the correct files, or I'm doomed. In DropBox web interface, it's the 0 byte files...

    Anyone knows how to correct this, or how to prevent this from happening, and if this is really caused by either of LockNote or DropBox? I really appreciate any help. Thanks. :)

    It looks like that either you have lost the icon or path to the applications. Try rebuilding icon cache and run a virus scan?

    But when I tried to open the files, it said "preview.exe is not a valid win32 application."

    My notebook is using Avira AntiVir Free. My work PC is using NOD32 2.7 (pre-installed).

    My notebook also has this incorrect files.

    Can you right click on the file, then "properties", then see where the path is?

    As Padmé mentioned, the file might not be there where you think it is.

    cheers ...
