- Well, The file has been deleted, thanks to the help of that hall of famer
- T.Sipples and others. The solution was to boot from a floppy and delete
- it from there. What others suggested is that the lpt1 handle was not
- loaded from a floppy boot and so the file lpt1 was created. Under a full
- boot, the machine first checks to see if lpt1 is a device handle. When it
- realizes that it is, it states that it is not deleteable.
-
- Thanks again to all who helped with this rogue file!!!
