Hi. I just ran WinDirStat on one of my storage drives an found this file, can anyone tell me what it might be as when i try to open it i can`t find a program that relates to it. when i click on properties it just says ( FILE TYPE = File)
Any ideas what it is? I don`t save any Backups on this drive as i have a 2TB drive for backups.

You might be able to delete it from within a live Linux environment.

Ok Cheers, i can delete it from within windows too, but i would like to know what im deleting first bud.
So i have made a backup of it to another drive and deleted it from that drive so if anything stops working i should be able to restore it and find its parent program. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

Have you tried opening it with whatever you use for backups?

Someone's encrypted pr0n ?

Truecrypt encrypted container was my first though, if it's a works PC someone might have brought in things from home and doesn't want anyone getting access. A container could have any name/extention.
