While I thank evreyone else who has replied, you, Bob, actually read and
understood my post.That's no small feat since I tend meander in my thoughts.
So major kudos to you.
I played with attrib and got nowhere.(been using it since good old dos days)
I agree that I must be chasing ghosts. Our infosec team is more than likely
the team responsible for this strange behavior. Our machines are locked down
very tight. We run a lot of software and utilities that we have created, so
more than likely it is one of the active agents on the machine. Playing with
active tasks yielded no fruit.
Its a bummer that a safe mode boot couldn't be acomplished to test the
theory.
Like I said , its not my battle, I just was interested in the issue. So
thank you for a thoughtful and on target reply.
