RealPlayer is the root of a lot of evil. Oh, did you mean thoughts on getting rid of the file? Open Terminal and type rm -f Desktop/NameOfFile if that doesn't work try mv -f Desktop/NameOfFile /tmp and it should be deleted on reboot. if it doesn't work, let us know the exact name of the file and what error you get. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
