Re: Normal.dot and deletion of ~*normal.dot, recycle bin

They were all files (Word icon). Two of them had something I had never seen
before: A small black arrow that started at the bottom of the icon anc
curved back toward the icon. I suspect these are the shortcuts, right? And,
there were still no add-ins listed in the "Global Templates and Add-Ins."
And, I use McAfee Antivirus. Beth, you've spent so much time on this. I
became very ill yesterday and was so sorry I couldn't respond sooner. What
would you like me to do?

No problem, Beth. I just appreciate your persistence! No, there
are no
add-ins listed in the "Global Templates and Add-ins" section.

You said, "if so, exit Word and use Windows Search to locate them,
the file
names to search for are listed in the dialog box."

I'm sorry, truly, am I missing something? Or, do I so something
else now
that there are no add-ins listed in the "Global Templates and
add-ins"
section?

If there weren't any global templates listed in the Templates and
Add-ins dialog box then there is nothing to search for. :-)

I use McAfee and it is always on and regularly scans every week. I
know not
all viruses are found.

Yes, under files/folders search there are four: One in Recycle Bin
(can
easily dump that), two in C:\Documents and
Settings\Dianna\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates -- neither of which could be opened with
right click
and one with the same location path but with this info in the
"description
box:"

TYPE: Microsoft Template

Again, only ONE had this last information and it COULD be opened
with right
click.

Are you sure one wasn't a shortcut for the Recent documents folder?

And, when I went back there was another folder created today named
~$Normal.dot so, even though I right click each time I open one of
these
folders a new one is created.

Is this a file or a folder? i.e. does the icon look like a Word
document icon or does it look like yellow folder?

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
