DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE !!!

This is a Windows system file to support long file names - IT IS NOT A VIRUS !

Deleting this file will cause you all sorts of problems with windows.

This hoax virus e-mail has been circulating many mailing lists and newsgroups
recently, and has been
found to be totally false.
