ignore_my_docs ?!

After upgrading my Axim to WM2003 premium I noticed an awkward file appearing in my CF card, SD card, and Built-In Storage. The file is called "ignore_my_docs". The file was hidden at first, but I found it with Resco File Explorer 2003. Deleting this file is no good because it just re-appears in a matter of minutes. Does anyone know what this file does and what it is intended for? I'm just afraid it's some sort of Trojan virus on my Axim. :hide:

It's placed there by the OS and tells the PPC to check the entire contents of the memory card for files related to Office programs (Word, Excel, WMP) and maybe some other programs. In order to get rid of it, add a My Documents folder to each of the cards (including BIS if you are using it for files) and then delete the ignore_my_docs file. It should stay deleted then.
