They usually show up when you delete things from
your archos with XP.

They don't seem to do much harm or take much if
any space, so I don't bother deleting 'em.

However, if you feel the burning need to try
delete them, you'll need to log in as adminstrator
in safe mode, do this on boot up by hitting... err
F8, should give you a list of boot modes Safe mode
(administrator) be what your after, this should
allow you to delete em.

.... I wouldn't delete them off your computers
HD's though.

Also you'll probably find they re-appear.

Cheers,
Doover
