After putting BD (Free) on my mothers PC (Win98SE, 886mB P3, 320kB RAM, 20gB HD, Dial-up modem) I noticed two files which appeared on the desktop. One is the ''getfile'' ref'd above and the other is various permutations of the ''00F____kds'' file. I know there is a way to get these files to install in an off-desktop folder but I can't remember the links to how I did it. BD is set to update at 11:AM. The other day she did not go on-line until 4:PM and every blank area on the desktop was filled with icons for these files. They even went off-screen behind the right-hand border of the display (17'' LCD)! I tried deleting these icons but could not. Every time I deleted one, a copy of it appeared (ie: copy 2 of 00F9EBF0_kds)

How can I delete these files?? BD won't talk to a user of BD Free, and I get 0 putting these file names into Google.
